South Park Renewed Through 2016

NEW YORK: A new deal for three additional seasons of the animated comedy South Park will see Comedy Central airing original episodes through 2016, taking the show into its 20th run.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone will continue to write, direct and edit all episodes of South Park. The pair have done so since the show’s premiere in 1997.

"The collective genius of Matt and Trey knows no bounds," said Michele Ganeless, the president of Comedy Central. "Week after week and season after season they continue to surprise and delight South Park fans, and that includes all of us here at Comedy Central. We’re thrilled that the adventures of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman will continue through 2016."

"Comedy Central has been our home for 15 years and we love working there," said Parker and Stone. "South Park is a blast and we can’t wait to make more."
