Discovery and Paramount over Comedy Central series South Park. Said trial moved a little closer to “actual, in-universe fiscal bloodbath” earlier this week, per THR, when a member of New York’s Supreme Court shut down an effort to get the suit dismissed on Paramount’s behalf.

Paramount Global will remain on the hook for some of the claims in its legal battle with Warner Bros. Discovery over a 2019 licensing agreement for the long-running Comedy Central series "South Park," which was brokered for more than $500 million.

The summary judgment ruling opens the door to discovery on Paramount's understanding of its deal with WBD and, possibly, Paramount's viewership and subscriber metrics as they relate to the series.
