The latest episode of *South Park* was delayed this week because the creators simply hadn’t finished it in time, not because it was cancelled. Season 27 has already experienced some scheduling issues, leaving fans eager for each new episode. The episode originally planned for last Wednesday was pushed back just hours before it was supposed to air.
After Comedy Central postponed the new episode of *South Park* (Season 27, Episode 5) to September 24th, fans were curious about the reason. According to co-creator Matt Stone, who spoke with The Denver Post, the delay wasn’t due to censorship or any issues with the content. The team simply ran out of time to finish the episode before its original air date, as their production process often comes together quickly.
Why South Park Was Delayed at the Last-Minute
According to Stone, the episode wasn’t pulled or censored – they simply ran out of time. He admitted that working down to the wire sometimes leads to mistakes, which is the downside of procrastination. This explanation echoed the creators’ initial statement about the delay, which acknowledged they hadn’t finished the episode in time. They took responsibility for the issue and thanked Comedy Central and fans for their understanding, promising a new episode the following week.
I’ve heard a lot of speculation about why that *South Park* episode was delayed, but Trey Stone has confirmed it simply came down to not being ready in time. Apparently, this whole season, Season 27, has been a bit tricky! That’s actually why they switched to releasing episodes every other week. The creators have been pretty open about how tough it’s been to finish each new episode before it airs – they’ve really been pushing to get things done!
When Do New South Park Episodes Come Out?
Despite a few problems with how Season 27 of *South Park* has aired so far, Comedy Central has announced the broadcast dates for the remaining episodes. This season will have ten episodes total, and they will continue to premiere on Wednesday nights at 10 PM Eastern Time on Comedy Central and will be available to stream on Paramount+. Here’s the schedule:
- Episode 5 – September 24th
- Episode 6 – October 15th
- Episode 7 – October 29th
- Episode 8 – November 12th
- Episode 9 – November 26th
- Episode 10 – December 10th
While future episodes of *South Park* could still face delays – as the show is often finished very close to its air date – there’s now a solid plan for what’s coming next. You can stream all past episodes, specials, and the movie on Paramount+. What are your thoughts? Share them and join the discussion in the ComicBook Forum!
