South Park season 27 release date

A number of television series throughout history haven’t shied away from stirring up controversy as boldly as South Park, a program that seldom hesitates to deliver its blunt, witty critiques on contemporary topics and personalities.

It’s quite unexpected that the recent turmoil in the show stems from within its own team, as disagreements between creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with Paramount Global and Skydance Media, have cast doubt on the premiere of season 27.

The disagreement caused a first postponement lasting two weeks, a point that both Parker and Stone criticized on X. Meanwhile, the program was taken off Paramount+ for audiences outside the U.S., disappointing many regular viewers.

Luckily, it seems that progress is being made towards a conclusion. Here is all the latest information on the current status of season 27, as well as details about where to watch it in the UK at this time.

The upcoming season 27 of South Park is set to debut in the United States on Wednesday, 23rd July 2025, airing on Comedy Central.

The opening event was postponed for two weeks due to a disagreement between the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and the merging entities, Paramount Global and Skydance.

As of now, writing in mid-2025, streaming service Paramount+ does not offer access to South Park outside the USA, despite reports from The Los Angeles Times in late July that a solution had been found for the parties involved.

Can you watch South Park season 27 in the UK?

No, you cannot currently watch South Park season 27 in the UK on a streaming subscription.

Recently, South Park was no longer available for streaming on its typical platform, Paramount+, in regions beyond the U.S., because the license for streaming the show had come to an end.

It seems that the procedure for renewing the license is connected to a larger dispute ongoing between the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with Paramount Global and Skydance – companies currently in the process of merging, awaiting regulatory approval.

According to THR, there’s a dispute over a potential $3 billion agreement between Parker and Stone’s Park County and Paramount Global, set to take place in 2027, that could extend the life of the series for another ten years.

According to reports from THR, Skydance wasn’t satisfied with the duration and expense of the agreement, causing some uncertainty. However, more recent news from The Los Angeles Times indicates that both parties have found common ground and reached a settlement.

It seems the agreement has been reduced significantly, now standing at a total of $1.5 billion over five years. Previously, it was described as being twice as large, not only in terms of its monetary value but also in duration.

It’s likely that South Park will soon become available on Paramount+ internationally, although for now, it is not there as I write this.

Currently, you can buy episodes from Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) providers like Amazon or YouTube. If you prefer a vintage touch, you can opt for DVDs of previous seasons instead.

What will happen in South Park season 27?

In the upcoming Season 27 of South Park, it’s anticipated that they will continue to satirize contemporary global happenings and popular news stories once more. The latest trailer hints at a dispute between the U.S. and Canada, Randy developing an addiction to ketamine, and Butters getting a job in air traffic control.

Expect the show’s usual rude, provocative and surreal sense of humour to continue.
