New South Park Episode Hit With Last-Minute Delay With New Schedule Revealed for Season 27’s Future

A new episode of *South Park* won’t air tonight, and the show’s schedule for the rest of Season 27 has been completely revised. This season has already had a bumpy start – the premiere was delayed due to licensing negotiations with the show’s creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and episodes have been released every other week. Now, there’s a significant delay to the schedule.

Comedy Central has changed the air date for the next episode of *South Park*. Episode 5 of Season 27 was originally scheduled for September 17th, but will now air on September 24th at 10pm Eastern and Pacific time. It will be available to stream on Paramount+ the following day. Along with this delay, Comedy Central has also revealed the schedule for the rest of the season, which will continue airing through December.

South Park Season 27 Reveals New Release Schedule Following Delays

Comedy Central has announced its updated schedule for the rest of this season of *South Park*. While the show will continue airing through December, fans hoping for episodes to air more frequently might be disappointed. Here’s how the remaining episodes will be released:

  • Episode 5 – September 24th
  • Episode 6 – October 15th
  • Episode 7 – October 29th
  • Episode 8 – November 12th
  • Episode 9 – November 26th
  • Episode 10 – December 10th

There’s good news for fans of *South Park*: Season 27 will have ten episodes – a significant increase from recent seasons! New episodes will continue to air on Wednesdays at 10 PM ET on Comedy Central, and will also be available to stream on Paramount+. This longer season gives the writers more opportunity to develop the characters and storylines that fans are excited about after the show’s return.

What Does This Mean for South Park’s Future?

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of *South Park*, apologized to fans for the unexpected delay of tonight’s new episode. They explained that working at the last minute didn’t pay off this time, and the episode wasn’t finished. They take full responsibility and thanked Comedy Central and *South Park* fans for their patience. They now have an extra week to complete the episode, which will air next week.

Now that the show has a solid schedule for the rest of the season, it’s unlikely *South Park* will delay any more episodes. While it’s always possible a delay could happen – the show is known for pushing production limits – there’s now a clear plan in place moving forward.
