The release of Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming comedy starring South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone has been postponed again, according to confirmation from The Hollywood Reporter.
The film was originally scheduled for July 4, but was moved to March 20, 2026. Now the date has been postponed again, with no new theatrical release announced.
Park County and pgLang acknowledged the latest shift, saying, “It’s true – we’re moving (again)… We’re working hard to finish the film.”
The untitled Paramount project is written by Vernon Chatman, with Lamar and Dave Free producing via pgLang, and Parker and Stone producing for Park County.
The team has balanced development with Lamar’s co-headlining tour with SZA and the ongoing production demands of South Park, now in its 28th season.
Paramount’s Brian Robbins previously teased the film’s potential at last year’s CinemaCon, calling it “one of the funniest and most original scripts we’ve ever read.” He also noted that the studio would go into production with Parker and Stone that summer.
The creators’ previous projects include Team America: World Police and the Tony-winning The Book of Mormonas Lamar continues his own standout run.
He headlined the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, earned five Grammys this year and recently nabbed nine additional nominations for the 2026 awards.
