Kendrick Lamar’s Film Collaboration With ‘South Park’ Creators Pushed Back Until 2026

Variety is reporting that Kendrick Lamar’s movie with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone has been delayed to March 20, 2026 from its original July 4, 2025 release date. The untitled comedy will feature Vernon Chatman as the primary writer, with PgLang’s Dave Free set to produce the film alongside Lamar. Little information is available about the cast, but the plot follows an African-American intern discovering his white girlfriend’s ancestors were slave owners of his relatives. Despite the project’s delay, Lamar is still having a big year in 2025, winning Grammys for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, and scoring a Billboard No. 1 album with GNX that generated multiple chart-topping hits on the Hot 100. The Compton rapper is also preparing to launch his Grand National Tour with SZA on April 19 in Minneapolis, which is set to hit 19 stadiums across North America this spring and summer. (Billboard)
