‘South Park’ is going to be around for a long time.

Comedy Central has reached a new deal with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the controversial animated series, that will extend the comedy for three more seasons, sending ‘South Park’ into a milestone 20th season.

Parker and Stone, who are also key forces behind the smash Broadway hit ‘The Book of Mormon,’ will continue to write, direct and edit each episode, as they have since the show’s 1997 premiere.

Said Parker and Stone in a statement: ‘Comedy Central has been our home for 15 years and we love working there. ‘South Park’ is a blast and we can’t wait to make more.’
