How to watch South Park: The Streaming Wars online from anywhere

It's not often that any of us can say "we've all been there" as far as Cartman's concerned, but with Liane and her dearest Eric at loggerheads, the title of the latest South Park special suggests it's only partly because they're stuck living in a ******* hot dog. Still better than Kenny's house, right? 

Wondering how to watch South Park: The Streaming Wars online? It's simple in certain parts of the world (US, Australian, and Canadian fans can watch it on Paramount Plus), but not quite as straightforward in places where the streaming service isn't yet available, such as the UK.

The trailer and synopsis for the feature-length entry give little away, except that the entire existence of South Park is under threat from an epic conflict! Might that be the brouhaha that's brewing between Cartman and his mom, who looks like she's finally had enough of the conniving little weasel? Or is it all an elaborately disguised dig at this strange new entertainment multiverse, one that has cut great scars into the landscape of South Park itself?

Ready to read between the lines? Here's how to watch South Park: The Streaming Wars online where you are.

Can you watch South Park: The Streaming Wars in the UK?

Considering the subject matter, it's painfully poetic that South Park: The Streaming Wars doesn't have a release date at the time of publication. The reason? Paramount Plus is yet to roll out in the UK. However, South park fans based in the UK shouldn't have much longer to wait, as Paramount Plus' UK launch is set for Wednesday, June 22, with pricing set at £6.99 per month or £69.90 for the year, after a 7-day free trial.
