South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 1 recap

The Streaming Wars original was announced in May and premiered on Paramount+ on June 1. It parodied competition among streaming services featuring a new service that had entered against Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, and others.

Streaming Wars Part 1 followed a large drought in the city of Denver caused by ManBearPig, that resulted in streams drying up and discussions about reinstituting water restrictions. However, Randy Marsh and Steve Black had water due to their elevation. They capitalized on their privileged position and started streaming water down for other residents.

Eventually, other residents began buying land near Randy and Steve so that they too could get a share of the benefits. Meanwhile, Cartman grew tired of living in a giant hot dog and tried to convince his mom to get breast implants to impress the rich man who bought land in front of them.

South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2 will be released exclusively on Paramount+ on July 13, 2022.
