In association with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, Kendrick Lamar‘s upcoming live-action comedy film has been delayed for the third time.
It an early-2022 statement, the rapper would be producing a comedy movie, and in 2023 it was confirmed that as well as producing, Parker would also direct the live-action film.
Except that it would originally be released on July 4, 2025, little information has since been shared except that the film would again be delayed until March 20 of next year. Now, the movie has been pushed back again, and no new date has been set for its release.
According to a joint statement attributed to Stone and Parker’s production banner Park County and Lamar’s company PGLang, “It’s true – we’re moving (again). We’re working hard at finishing the movie.”
While minimal information about the film has been shared (including its title not the cast,) it’s been made public that the plot revolves around the past and present coming to a head when a young black man who is interning as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his.
News of his film’s delay comes after Lamar was recently nominated for nine 2026 Grammy nominations for his sixth album GNX, which was released last November.
