‘South Park’ Season 27 Pushes Release Date

Come on down to South Park for Season 27!

Paramount has unveiled that the premiere of “South Park” Season 27 has been pushed from its original release on July 9 to July 23. The season premiere will air on Comedy Central at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

In a trailer released in April, the 27th season of the famed, foul-mouthed animated series was teased to cover ketamine, a bloody war against Canada, violent plumbing issues, a space-dwelling Diddy and air traffic control disasters. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have made a career with their scathing social commentary, and the new season appears to promise more of the same.

Season 26, which consisted of only six episodes, was released in March 2023. The show notably skipped over the 2024 presidential election, a decision that Parker and Stone said was sort of “on purpose,” since several of the show’s previous seasons covered election cycles in depth.

Stone said of the hiatus, “We’ve tried to do ‘South Park’ through four or five presidential elections, and it is such a hard thing to — it’s such a mind scramble, and it seems like it takes outsized importance.”

“Obviously, it’s fucking important, but it kind of takes over everything and we just have less fun,” Parker added. “I don’t know what more we could possibly say about Trump.”

Parker and Stone serve as executive producers with Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II. Eric Stough. Producers include Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman. Christopher Brion is the creative director of South Park Digital Studios.
