South Park’s future took a new turn on August 5, 2025, when Paramount Global and Skydance Media completed their $8 billion merger, creating the new Paramount Skydance Corporation.

Longtime Ellison lieutenant Dana Goldberg will run Paramount Pictures with former Sony executive, Josh Greenstein. Only one senior Paramount executive, George Cheeks, will remain after this week's Skydance takeover.

Cindy Holland, former Netflix Head of U.S. Scripted TV and former Global CEO of Elisabeth Murdoch and Jane Featherstone‘s Sister, will be the head of DTC, Paramount+ and Pluto. Sources tell us she’ll report directly to Ellison.
