Trey Parker & Matt Stone ‘Take Full Responsibility’ For Scheduling Delays in ‘Whitney Springs’ Movie Collab With Kendrick Lamar
The movie centered on a Black reenactor at a slave plantation museum reportedly slated to include original, unreleased Lamar songs was originally due out last year.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone have taken full responsibility for the scheduling delays of their highly anticipated feature film, Whitney Springs. The musical comedy, which is set to be a $100 million live-action collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, has been pushed back multiple times since its original release date in July 2025. Parker and Stone apologized to their partners at pgLang and Paramount for the delays, attributing them to South Park and life's circumstances.
The film's script was read by Paramount executives in 2021, with the plan initially being for Parker to direct and Stone to produce alongside Lamar and his business partner, Dave Free. The movie was set to enter production in the summer of 2024 and was originally slated to be released in March 2025. However, the release date was pushed back to November and then removed entirely from the studio's release schedule. At present, no new release date has been announced.
