The marathon will offer viewers a great way to quickly brush up on the long-running adult animation hit as they prepare for the premiere of South Park Season 29 on Wednesday, September 16 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on the network. New episodes will be available to stream on Paramount+ worldwide, with next-day debuts in the U.S., Australia and Canada.
Additional new episodes will premiere on Wednesdays: September 30, October 14, October 28, November 11 and November 25.
South Park, which will be celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2027, debuted on Comedy Central on 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.
South Park is about four boys living in one screwed-up Colorado mountain town. Between local and global tragedies, as well as parental and celebrity interference, Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny manage to have themselves a time.
The show continues to be celebrated three decades after its debut, winning the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program five times and receiving 20 nominations. South Park was included in the 2026 Television Academy Honors as their first ever animated honoree, as the Producers Guild Awards (PGA) first animated show to be included in Best Episodic comedy, and has also received awards and accolades from the American Film Institute (AFI), the Peabody Awards and the Critics Choice Association.
In addition, South Park was the No. 1 show on cable in 2025 among P18-49, including the return of Season 27 delivering the best average P18-49 share in 27 years and most watched season in six years.
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.
