No need for BitTorrent, South Park fans will soon be able to watch all the free, legal episodes they want on the newly relaunched website, southparkstudios.com. The website will feature free, streaming, full-length episodes and clips from the entire 12 seasons of the series.

Due to some contractual issues, new episodes will be available soon after they premiere and remain available for seven days. The new episodes will then return to the site permanently 30 days after they premiere. The website will also feature other video and behind-the-scenes information.

Clips of South Park have been on YouTube or BitTorrent for years. The new website just makes it easier for people to see and share South Park. According to Anne Garefino, General Manager of South Park Digital Studios:

“One goal in moving forward is to make every episode of ‘South Park’ available world-wide. Currently, full episodes are not available in the UK, Australia and a few other foreign territories but we’re not far off from making that happen. We have some contractual issues to sift through but we’re getting there.”

When asked about the launch of the new site, Stone and Parker said, “We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time so we gave ourselves a legal alternative.”

A special thanks to Matt and Trey.
