A sneak peek at the new season is shared in a trailer that you can watch below. It features Diddy chasing the South Park kids and/or an alien with a gun through space, a fight with Canada, dirty toilets, and multiple plane crashes. It's unclear how many episodes were made.
“It’s ok, Sharon, I’m just going to do some ketamine and f*ck around with the government a little, see ya,” says Stan’s dad Randy Marsh in the trailer.
The series, which centers on Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022. The series was created by Parker and Matt Stone, who serve as executive producers alongside Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II.
The move comes after Stone and Parker’s untitled comedy film, produced by Kendrick Lamar, was pushed back from 2025 to 2026.
Parker and Trey signed a deal with Comedy Central in 2021, reportedly worth around $900 million, to renew South Park through season 30, which runs until 2027. The duo revealed last year why the series was being delayed, saying they wanted to avoid the 2024 presidential election and "wait for Paramount to figure out all their sh*t."
“We’ve tried to do South Park through four or five presidential elections, and it is such a hard thing to—it’s such a mind scramble, and it seems like it takes outsized importance,” Stone told Vanity Fair.
Parker added, “Obviously, it’s f***ing important, but it kind of takes over everything and we just have less fun. I don’t know what more we could possibly say about Trump.”
South Park's 27th season begins on Wednesday, July 9.
