Warner Bros. Discovery has filed a lawsuit against Paramount Global, alleging that the latter company backed out of certain parts of their $500 million licensing deal for the streaming rights to South Park.
According to a report from Variety, the suit — which was filed Friday in New York State Supreme Court — claims that Paramount breached its contract by purposely steering South Park specials and other content to its own streaming platform, Paramount+.
The suit also alleges that Paramount “blatantly intended to prop up Paramount+ at the expense of Warner/HBO,” and that Paramount engaged in “multiple and flagrant duplicitous contortions of fact and breaches of contract.”
In a statement from Warner, the company says that it’s bringing the lawsuit forward in order to “vindicate its rights and recover the hundreds of millions of dollars in damages incurred as a result of Defendants’ misconduct.”
