Paramount demands $52M in 'South Park' streaming dispute with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Paramount Global has filed a counterclaim against Warner Bros. Discovery over licensing rights to the South Park library, alleging that the latter is claiming breaches of terms that don't exist in their deal to justify non-payment of licensing fees. Paramount is seeking $52 million in unpaid licensing fees and a declaration that it's entitled to receive the agreed-upon $1.68 million per episode. The legal battle is part of the ongoing streaming wars, with Warner Bros. Discovery accusing Paramount of breaching a 2019 licensing deal to prop up Paramount+.
