Contract Renewal

[KyleFan!]

As you all know the South Park contract renewal is up at the end of series 12. Do you think they will decide to renew the contract to make more shows ? The show seems to still be very popular and i'm sure either Matt or Trey said that they wanted to make as many episodes as the simpsons. I can't remember my source for that or if it was a joke.

I sure hope they do make more. Even if they don't renew, take a few years off and then start again. Even if they only make a season every couple of years.

I just don't want to think that in just over 1 and a half years South Park could be over for good.

What do you guys think ?

We have received some breaking news here at Rocketoon!
All fans of South Park have been wondering what would happen after the end of the contract (ending season 12). Would it be renewed or not ?

We are pleased to announce that the contract for South Park has been extended to run through season 15 which means loads of South Park still to come till at least 2011!!

Heres the story:

"The deal, signed Friday, begins with a three-year extension of the show and its creators’ contracts through a 15th season, in the year 2011, and gives Mr. Stone and Mr. Parker sizable raises, both in their salaries and in their guaranteed advances against back-end profits from DVDs, merchandising, syndication and international sales.

It also creates an entity called SouthParkStudios.com, to be housed in the show’s animation studio in Culver City, Calif., that is intended to be an incubator not only for new applications for characters the likes of Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny, but for new comedy concepts that could one day mature into TV series of their own."
