TREY Parker and Matt Stone have been friends since college.
The two are most famous for developing the adult cartoon South Park.
Who are Trey Parker and Matt Stone?
Both Parker and Stone grew up in Colorado before attending The University of Colorado, Boulder, where the two met.
They collaborated on multiple short films before starring in the feature length musical Cannibal! The Musical.
The duo then moved to Los Angeles, California and wrote their second film, Orgazmo.
South Park premiered on Comedy Central in August 1997 and has run for 24 seasons so far.
The two have complete creative control of the show and even developed it into a film, video game, and music based off it.
In 2011, Parker and Stone worked together on the satirical Broadway musical The Book of Mormon, earning them three Tony Awards and one Grammy.
South Park won the pair five Emmy Awards and in 2013, they established their own production studio, Important Studios.
How many more seasons of South Park will there be?
MTV Entertainment Studios announced a new expansive deal with the South Park co creators on August 5, 2021.
The deal includes expanding the cartoon through 2027 to an unprecedented 30th season.
The duo will also be creating 14 original made-for-streaming movies for Paramount+, two to be released in 2021.
“Matt and Trey are world-class creatives who brilliantly use their outrageous humor to skewer the absurdities of our culture and we are excited to expand and deepen our long relationship with them to help fuel Paramount+ and Comedy Central,” said Chris McCarthy, President/CEO -MTV Entertainment & CCO/Adult Animation.
Are the South Park creators buying Denver’s Casa Bonita?
Parker and Stone grew up visiting Denver mexican restaurant Casa Bonita, hence why they worked it into the South Park universe.
Casa Bonita was even the focus of a classic 2003 episode and featured in the 2017 video game South Park: The Fractured but Whole as part of the downloadable content.
When the co-creators learned about their beloved local spot filing for bankruptcy, they announced their plan to buy the place.
“We want to buy Casa Bonita and treat it right. I feel like it was neglected even before the pandemic,” Parker told The Hollywood Reporter on July 28, 2021.

“We started talking about the changes we’re going to make — mostly with the food,” Parker continued.
“We’re going to make really awesome food. I was already thinking about how I was going to make Black Bart’s Cave a little bigger.”
If the cartoon creators buy the restaurant, fans are bound to see South Park canon worked into every corner.
