The Season 27 premiere of South Park satirized Paramount Global and Donald Trump. A storyline involving a lawsuit and pro-Trump PSAs highlighted the creators' recent contract disputes with Paramount. The episode featured Trump depicted with Satan, echoing a 1999 episode featuring Saddam Hussein. Despite expressing concerns about a potential merger, Parker and Stone secured a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount+ for streaming rights and 50 new episodes for Comedy Central.
