The creators of the South Park cartoons have signed a 900 million US dollars deal with US media giant ViacomCBS.

The agreement will see Trey Parker and Matt Stone make new South Park episodes for the Comedy Central network.

The pair are also set to create more than a dozen spinoff movies for Viacom's Paramount+ streaming service.

The first project of the deal will be a South Park film scheduled for release later this year.

BBC News reports the agreement, which runs to the end of 2027, includes six seasons of the South Park TV show and 14 movies.

South Park debuted in 1997, focussing on the exploits of four boys - Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick - in and around the town of South Park in Colorado, USA.

It has become infamous for its strong language and often controversial, dark and surreal humour that satirises a broad range of adult issues.

The creators have produced more than 300 episodes to date and a movie that was released in 1999.
