South Park Representative Talks Stunning Season Change

The latest season of *South Park* started with a surprise. Even before the new episodes aired on Comedy Central, there was buzz about the show. When the season began on October 15th, viewers discovered it wasn’t season twenty-seven as expected, but actually season twenty-eight. This new season, which satirizes figures like Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, and J.D. Vance, is shorter than usual. While Matt Stone and Trey Parker haven’t officially commented, a representative explained the show is now producing shorter seasons.

A spokesperson for Trey Parker and Matt Stone recently told The Hollywood Reporter that season twenty-seven was planned to have just five episodes, and they expect season twenty-eight to be the same length. Despite many fans thinking season twenty-seven would have ten episodes, Comedy Central never officially presented the episodes released this year as a single, complete season. Good news for fans: a new South Park episode is coming out on Wednesday, October 29th! While details about the plot are still under wraps, the timing so close to Halloween suggests the upcoming episode might have a spooky theme.

The Future Looks Bright For South Park

The latest seasons of *South Park* are tackling a wild storyline: the Devil is pregnant with the anti-Christ, and Donald Trump is the father! He’s not thrilled about it and is secretly trying to prevent the birth, but so far, he’s failed. It looks like the anti-Christ will be born no matter what.

Beyond the chaos happening at the White House, the characters are caught up in the popular “67” trend, but it’s causing trouble for Cartman. He’s been seriously ill from laughing so much, and surprisingly, Peter Thiel is trying to figure out what’s wrong with him. Despite being a new season, the show is still delivering its signature over-the-top storylines.

Even though the newest seasons of *South Park* (seasons 27 and 28) aren’t being released one episode per week, fans won’t have to wait too long to see what happens next. Here’s the schedule for the remaining episodes of season 28 on Comedy Central.

  • Episode 2 – October 29th
  • Episode 3 – November 12th
  • Episode 4 – November 26th
  • Episode 5 – December 10th

Good news for fans: *South Park* will continue to air on Comedy Central and Paramount+, so creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have a lot more episodes planned for the future.
