LOS ANGELES — “South Park” is going to be around for a long time.
Comedy
Central has reached a new deal with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the
creators of the controversial animated series, that will extend the
comedy for three more seasons, sending “South Park” into a milestone
20th season.
Parker and Stone, who are also key
forces behind the smash Broadway hit “The Book of Mormon,” will continue
to write, direct and edit each episode, as they have since the show’s
1997 premiere.
Said Parker and Stone in a
statement: “Comedy Central has been our home for 15 years and we love
working there. ‘South Park’ is a blast and we can’t wait to make more.”
