Comedy Central has announced that the 27th season of the renowned series, South Park, will premiere Wednesday, July 9th, promising overflowing toilets, ketamine and a space-traveling Diddy. Plus, a violent war against Canada breaks out and France reclaims the Statue of Liberty in the trailer for the new season of the raunchy Comedy Central series, co-created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
“Oh crap, we’re all gonna get fired!” shouts Butters from an air traffic control center, as planes explode into each other in the background.
The trailer begins with ominous live-action scenes of a desolate swing set and the wing of an airplane. “The acclaimed drama returns,” it reads, before snapping into South Park’s classic animation style.
Season 26, which featured six episodes, premiered on the Paramount cable network in February 2023 and ran through March. There have also been several made-for-streaming specials that have aired on Paramount+ between October 2023 and March 2024.
The new trailer also includes Diddy seemingly chasing the South Park kids and/or an alien through space with a gun and multiple plane crashes. It’s not clear how many episodes have been produced.
“It’s ok, Sharon, I’m just going to do some ketamine and f*ck around with the government a little, see ya,” says Stan’s dad Randy Marsh in the trailer.
The hit animated franchise South Park, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, debuted on Comedy Central August 13, 1997. Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny were first seen in the animated short "The Spirit of Christmas," and from there were launched into television history. Co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are executive producers, along with Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II. Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are producers. Christopher Brion is the Creative Director of South Park Digital Studios.
The move comes after Stone and Parker’s untitled comedy feature, produced by Kendrick Lamar, was moved from 2025 to 2026.
Parker and Trey signed a deal with Comedy Central in 2021, reportedly for around $900M, to extend South Park through Season 30, running through 2027.
The pair revealed last year why the series was delayed. They said they wanted to avoid the 2024 Presidential elections and were “waiting for Paramount to figure all their sh*t out”.
“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,” Stone told Vanity Fair.
Parker added, “Obviously, it’s f***ing important, but it kind of takes over everything and we just have less fun. I don’t know what more we could possibly say about Trump.”
