Discovery (WBD) sued Paramount over the streaming rights for \u201cSouth Park,\u201d Paramount is now striking back.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, April 19, Paramount countered sued<\/a> WBD, alleging that the company is withholding two required payments of $26 million each, bringing the total unpaid fees to $52 million.<\/p>\n \u201cSouth Park Studios has abided by the terms of the written Term Sheet. WarnerMedia has not,\u201d the countersuit writes. \u201cInstead, despite continuously exploiting and profiting from the 300-plus episodes of South Park that is still available for streaming on HBO Max, Warner Media is refusing to pay tens of millions of dollars in license fees owed to South Park Studios for the right to exploit that content.\u201d<\/p>\n The counterclaim, filed in New York Supreme Court, argues that the unpaid fees cover the 318 \u201cSouth Park\u201d episodes streaming on HBO Max.<\/p>\n The over 300 episodes are from seasons 1 through 26. HBO Max is also streaming the made-for-television documentary \u201c6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park,\u201d which Paramount mentioned in the document.<\/p>\n \u201cTo purportedly justify its non-payment, WarnerMedia has accused South Park Studios of breaching certain alleged obligations in the Term Sheet,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n In 2019, WBD paid $500 million for streaming rights to stream 23 seasons of the animated sitcom, as well as three new seasons (seasons 24, 25 and 26) that had yet to air. The deal was set to last through June 2025.<\/p>\n In February of this year, WBD filed a lawsuit<\/a> (Deadline acquired the document) that accused Paramount of breaching the deal, alleging that Paramount stole \u201cSouth Park\u201d content from HBO Max to put on its own streaming service, Paramount+. To be more specific, WBD said Paramount released new \u201cSouth Park\u201d specials on Paramount+, which WBD believes should\u2019ve streamed on HBO Max.<\/p>\n
