South Park’s Creators Don’t Know What They’re Going to Do for Next Episode

by

The latest season of “South Park” began with an extremely contentious episode, and the creators find themselves unsure about how to proceed with the show’s next episode, not to mention the rest of the season. When it was confirmed that “South Park” would return for Season 27 of the popular animated series this summer, viewers were given a sneak peek into what could potentially be a significant season for the series. However, the premiere episode suggests that previous plans may no longer be applicable for the remainder of the season.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the South Park series, recently participated in a special Comedy Central panel where they discussed various upcoming animated projects. They also shared their thoughts on the Season 27 premiere (with ComicBook present), and admitted that they’re still figuring out the plot for next week’s episode, as Parker himself acknowledged during the discussion.

South Park Creators Are Still Putting Season 27 Together

Matt Parker shared during San Diego Comic-Con 2025 that they were pondering over the plot for South Park Season 27 this morning. He admitted, “As of now, we’re still uncertain.” This aligns with the traditional production process of South Park, an animated series known for its ability to swiftly incorporate current events into new episodes within a short timeframe. Just last weekend, they were expressing similar doubts about whether audiences will appreciate the upcoming show.

Over the course of its run, ‘South Park’ has consistently shown its ability to tackle significant issues openly and stay relevant within popular culture. For instance, the first episode of Season 27 directly addresses the legal hurdles faced by the show due to Paramount’s merger with Skydance and delays in finalizing its streaming deal with Paramount, which only resolved shortly before the premiere of ‘South Park’ Season 27.

What’s Next From South Park?

Despite the creators of “South Park” being uncertain about how they’ll proceed after such an extraordinary premiere, it leaves fans in suspense about what the remainder of the season might bring. Earlier hints suggested that characters from long ago would reappear, but this may no longer be the case as Parker and Stone adjust their upcoming episodes. However, one thing that is certain is the future of “South Park” overall.

In the course of a significant $1.5 billion USD agreement, I’ve noticed that “South Park” is moving to Paramount+ as their exclusive streaming platform. The studio has reportedly invested $300 million USD for the rights to South Park’s extensive library. Furthermore, they have confirmed that the series will produce ten new episodes annually over the next five years. This deal undeniably boosts the value of “South Park,” positioning it as one of the most valuable animated franchises in history.
