In 2011, Parker and Stone also worked together on the satirical Broadway musical The Book of Mormon, earning them three Tony Awards and one Grammy.
How many more seasons of South Park will there be?
MTV Entertainment Studios announced a new expansive deal with the South Park co-creators on August 5, 2021.
The deal included expanding the cartoon through 2027 to an unprecedented 30th season.
The duo will also be creating 14 original made-for-streaming movies for Paramount+ as part of the deal.
“Matt and Trey are world-class creatives who brilliantly use their outrageous humor to skewer the absurdities of our culture and we are excited to expand and deepen our long relationship with them to help fuel Paramount+ and Comedy Central,” Chris McCarthy, President/CEO -MTV Entertainment & CCO/Adult Animation, said at the time.
Season 25 began on February 2, 2022.

Do the South Park creators own Denver’s Casa Bonita?
Parker and Stone grew up visiting the Denver Mexican restaurant Casa Bonita, which is why they worked it into the South Park universe.
Casa Bonita was even the focus of a classic 2003 episode and featured in the 2017 video game, South Park: The Fractured but Whole, as part of the downloadable content.
When the co-creators learned about their beloved local spot filed for bankruptcy, they announced their plan to buy it.
“We want to buy Casa Bonita and treat it right. I feel like it was neglected even before the pandemic,” Parker told The Hollywood Reporter on July 28, 2021.

“We started talking about the changes we’re going to make — mostly with the food,” Parker continued.
“We’re going to make really awesome food. I was already thinking about how I was going to make Black Bart’s Cave a little bigger.”
The sale was later finalized in November 2021 for $3.1million, according to Restaurant Hospitality.
