*Warning – South Park: The Streaming Wars spoilers*

Series creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker clearly have some feelings about the world of VOD streaming, which they've wrapped up in a joint metaphor about climate change. The Streaming Wars saw rival weed-farmers Steve Black and Randy Marsh selling off their excess water to the town’s drought-afflicted residents for a subscription fee, and facing increasing competition.

Meanwhile, a corrupt water commissioner teamed up with Pi Pi the Venetian waterpark guy to sell the citizens their own pee-pee back to them. Devious, indeed. Their plan seemed assured by the episode’s end, with the residents of South Park lavishly watering their lawns as the Denver reservoir ran dry.

We expect the follow-up to be just as wonderfully bonkers too, judging from the teaser trailer that shows Randy going full Karen: sporting an inverted bob haircut and psychically bowling people at the waterpark after demanding to see the manager.

It’s gonna be hella hilarious, as ever. So, keep reading as we explain how to watch South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2 online now, exclusively on Paramount Plus.
