It was eventually confirmed that they would be rolled out as two films per year.[5][6] Parker and Stone would later state that the projects would not be feature films, and that it was ViacomCBS who decided to advertise them as movies.[7] Subsequent advertising and branding has indicated that these are more properly classified as television specials.

While Cartman has dreams about the end of the world as he knows it, the adults of South Park are coping with how to deal with AI.[4]
