“South Park" Goes Digital

Animated series “South Park” is nowhere near its end: creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have signed a deal with Viacom that will bring Cartman & Co. more adventures – the digital kind this time.

“South Park” has graced Comedy Central with its quirkiness since 1997 and series creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are celebrating their 10th anniversary with a nice not-so-little deal with Viacom.

Under the new contract, Kyle, Stan, Eric and Kenny will still be in the fourth grade in 2011 – at least three more series will be created for Comedy Central. The deal also includes a joint venture to create South Park Digital Studios.

The show will extend its success on TV to the internet, as it will reach several digital platforms, such as mobile phones and games consoles.

“Three more years of ‘South Park’ will give us the opportunity to offend that many more people,” Stone said in typical manner in a statement released Monday. “And since Trey and I are in charge of the digital side of ‘South Park,’ we can offend people on their cell phones, game consoles, and computers too. It's all very exciting for us.”

This initiative is meant to encourage “South Park” fans to watch their favorite episodes on the official site, SouthParkStudios.com, rather than on unlicensed websites. SouthParkStudios.com will be re-launched in early 2008.

The new season of “South Park” starts airing on Oct. 3. The show has reached its eleventh season in what has been an exciting ten years. There has been criticism, unavoidably, but there has also been critical recognition.

“South Park” has been nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program seven times and won in 2005, for the episode “Best Friends Forever.” This year it is nominated for the episode “Make Love, Not Warcraft.”

The show has also won a Peabody Award.
