Next 'South Park' Special Fattens Up In 'The End Of Obesity'; Watch Trailer

  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. When Cartman is denied access to the life-changing medicine, Kyle, Stan, Butters and Kenny jump into action on his order. Cartman gazes at himself in the mirror, lam

'Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts' Streaming Rollout Date Confirmed

 


It's going to be the most Transformers week on Paramount+ yet! Not only do season-finishing episodes of Transformers: EarthSpark hit the streamer on Friday, July 28, but the franchise's latest theatrical film, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will also be arriving on the service this week, in fact tomorrow, Tuesday July 25.

This was revealed in a Showtime newsletter that mostly urged subscribers to make their way to Paramount+ as the standalone Showtime OTT winds down. The date marks day 46 since the film's June 9 theatrical release, which means like with Scream VI and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Paramount really is sticking with 45-day theatrical windows, while over at Disney, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania have indicated that studio is returning to 90-day theatrical windows.


Transformers: Rise of the Beasts stars Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback as Noah Diaz and Elena Wallace who team up with the Autobots, Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), Bumblebee, Arcee (Liza Koshy), and Mirage (Pete Davidson), with Maximals Optimus Primal (Ron Perlman), Airazor (Michelle Yeoh) and Rhinox to stop the villain Scourge (Peter Dinklage) and his Terrorcons, including Nightbird and Battletrap from using an ancient artifact to summon Unicron (Colman Domingo) and destroy Earth. It was the film that finally started tapping into the nostalgia of Beast Wars after a decade plus of tapping exclusively into ‘80s G1…while also building a shared universe with a highly publicized ending.

With the film making $471 million globally at the box office, it's been reported (after opening weekend) that the film's director Steven Caple Jr. is in talks to direct the next installment. The film hits Paramount+ on July 25. When the film arrives tomorrow, it joins previous films Dark of the Moon, Age of Extinction, and Bumblebee, the latter of which the streamer held a livetweet watch party for on Monday night to commemorate the occasion.
