Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of the extremely popular South Park cartoon, have signed an agreement with Netflix that will have the first nine seasons of the show streamed through Netflix's Watch Instantly streaming service.
The deal will give Netflix exclusive rights to the show's first 181 episodes, added Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey, although neither party elaborated on the financials of the deal.
Over the past year, Netflix has continued to add services and content to its streaming library, which now boasts more than 12,000 movies and TV episodes. The streaming library is now available through TiVo devices, on Samsung Blu-ray players, on LG Blu-ray players and through the Microsoft Xbox 360.
The company added recently that despite the current economic recession, they have hit 10 million subscribers while posting a 45 percent profit increase year on year.
