Trey Parker and Matt Stone have reached a new deal with Comedy Central to extend cable’s longest-running animated series, South Park. The deal for three additional seasons ensures the series will remain in original episodes through 2016, reaching its 20th season. Parker and Stone will continue to write, direct and edit every episode as they have since the premiere of the series in 1997.
