At the same time it finds itself in the middle of a controversy about China-u.S. relations, Comedy Central’s South Park is exploring the booming streaming marketplace for established shows.
Bids for the series, now in its 23rd season, have approached $500 million, sources confirm to Deadline. Netflix, interestingly, has dropped out of the bidding, according to people familiar with the situation.
Hulu, however, which has had streaming rights to the show since 2014, is among several companies in the mix. Another active bidder is CBS, sources tell Deadline. The company is about to merge with Viacom, the home of South Park linear airings and ad-supported streams. Subscription service CBS All Access, which has millions of subscribers, would be a logical destination for the show given its status as a signature company property.
An episode of South Park, “Band in China,” this month took no prisoners in roasting the contradictory stance of U.
