Kendrick Lamar is teaming up with South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker for a new live-action comedy.

The untitled feature film is being produced by Lamar and Dave Free under their media company pgLang. Stone and Parker are on board as co-producers, and Paramount Pictures will handle the film’s theatrical and home distribution. A release date has been set for July 4th, 2025.

When the project was first announced in 2022, it was described as a live-action comedy written by Veron Chatman (Wonder Showzen, Xavier: Renegade Angel), which “will depict the past and present coming to a head when a young Black man who is interning as a slave reenactor at a living history museum discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his.”

“This script is one of the funniest and most original scripts we’ve ever read, and it’s certain to create some fireworks when it hits theaters on July 4th, 2025,” Paramount film chief Brian Robbins told the crowd during a presentation at CinemaCon 2024.

Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free launched pgLang in 2020. They’ve described it as “a multi-lingual company, communicating this generation’s creative language through mediums exemplifying the shared experiences that connect us all.” Lamar released his most recent album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, through pgLang in 2022.

For Stone and Parker, the project marks the duo’s first non-South Park scripted film since 2004’s Team America: World Police. In 2021, the longtime collaborators struck a deal with ViacomCBS for six more seasons of South Park in addition to 14 movies.
