Kendrick Lamar‘s forthcoming feature from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone will take a bit longer to squabble up into theaters.
The untitled Paramount Pictures comedy is now set for theatrical release on March 20, 2026, after having previously been scheduled for July 4 of this year. The news comes ahead of Paramount’s CinemaCon presentation later this week, after the movie was teased at last year’s event.
Plot details have not yet been revealed for the project that filmed last year with a script from Vernon Chatman. Lamar and Dave Free serve as producers through their company PGLang, while Stone and Parker produce for Park County.
The film’s team have schedules this year that would have made promotion a challenge. Lamar kicks off a co-headlining concert tour with SZA next month, while Stone and Parker have been busy with South Park responsibilities.
At last year’s CinemaCon, Paramount film chief Brian Robbins praised the movie for “one of the funniest and most original scripts we’ve ever read.”
Stone and Parker are known for creating the Comedy Central animated series South Park, which aired its 26th season in 2023 and spawned a 1999 theatrical feature, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. The pair are also behind the 2004 movie Team America: World Police and co-wrote the Tony-winning Broadway musical The Book of Mormon.
Lamar continues to be one of the most in-demand music stars following such high-profile moments as leading this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. His accolades include the Pulitzer Prize for Music, an Emmy Award, and 22 Grammys.
