Posted by on
  Where in the world is season 27 of South Park ? The public certainly doesn’t know. If the trades do, they’re not saying. But somehow, the next Paramount+ special is coming anyway, specifically next week. The streamer has announced “The End of Obesity” will take South Park on an Ozempic tale when it premieres May 24 in the United States and Canada, and May 25 in Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It’s somewhat better advance notice than what the previous special “ (Not Suitable For Children) ” received, as while it had “print” ads on websites and its trailer ran on YouTube , it wasn’t officially released and properly uploaded until the day of its December 20 release. The description tells that new weight loss drugs have entered the culture of South Park, to massive impact.

Paramount+ Has Acquired A New Milli Vanilli Documentary

Posted by on


The next Paramount+ original documentary will be about the notorious '90s R&B group Milli Vanilli, following its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. The streamer will be releasing it in the United States as well as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. WME was screening for buyers earlier this year.

Titled after the duo, which consists of Fabrice Morvan and Robert Pilatus, Milli Vanilli tells the story of them becoming fast friends when they were kids growing up in Germany. Rob came from a broken home while Fabrice escaped an abusive one. Together, they shared a similar experience of growing up, as well as a mutual wish to become famous. In a few short years, that would come true. Their first album went platinum six times in 1989, containing the hit single "Girl You Know It’s True" which sold over 30 million copies globally, leading to being one of the most well known duos by 1990. However, their meteoric rise to fame would all come crumbling down. That year, they were forced to return their Grammy Award for Best New Artist after it was revealed that they didn’t sing vocals on any of their records. And then it further spiraled, and there's always more to go into.

Luke Korem directs the documentary. Hanif Abdurraqib and Kim Marlowe are the executive producers. In discussing the documentary, he stated “For over 30 years, the story of Milli Vanilli – in particular Rob and Fab – has been reduced to sensational headlines,” continuing “With this documentary, we pull back the curtain on pop music. Featuring interviews with the real singers, record executives, the producer mastermind behind the deception, and exclusive interviews with Rob and Fab, we unveil the truth of this complex, exciting, and dramatic story. I’m thrilled that Paramount+ shares our vision and will bring this film to audiences around the world.”

Fabrice Morvan expressed something of feelings of vindication and closure in his statement, grateful for how thorough it is. “Finally – the true story of Milli Vanilli has been told. I’m thankful Luke Korem and his team went to the lengths that they did. The journey I returned to during the filming of this documentary didn’t leave any stone unturned. At last, I can close this chapter in peace… Get ready to take a walk in our steel-toe boots.”

Korem is also a producer on the documentary, with Bradley Jackson, MRC, Keep On Running Pictures and MTV Entertainment Studios.
