The release date for Kendrick Lamar’s comedy from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been pushed back yet again.
The film’s release date has been delayed, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed, after already being shifted from its original debut of July 4 of this year.
“It’s true — we’re moving (again),” Park County & pgLang said in a statement. “We’re working hard at finishing the movie.”
In March, the untitled project shifted its release date for the first time to March 20, 2026, due to scheduling complications with Lamar’s co-headlining tour with SZA as Parker and Stone have been working on South Park. A new theatrical release date has not been revealed.
The untitled film hails from Paramount Pictures, with Vernon Chatman penning the script. Lamar and Dave Free are producing via their company PGLang, while Stone and Parker produce for Park County.
At CinemaCon last year, Paramount’s Brian Robbins said the movie is “one of the funniest and most original scripts we’ve ever read.”
“I’m excited to announce that we’re going into production this summer on a [comedy] from the creators of South ParkMatt Stone and Trey Parker,” Robbins additionally said at the same time.
Stone and Parker created Comedy Central’s South Park in 1997, with the animated series currently airing its 28th installment. They’ve also worked on 2004’s Team America: World Police and co-wrote the Tony-winning Broadway musical The Book of Mormon.
Lamar has had quite the busy year, as he notably headlined the Super Bowl LIX halftime show and took home five Grammys at the 2025 ceremony. The “Not Like Us” singer recently picked up nine more nods from the Recording Academy, leading the slate of 2026 nominees.
