Season chronology

The twenty-seventh season of the American animated series South Park premiered on Comedy Central on July 23, 2025.[1][2] On July 21, 2025, it was announced that Trey Parker and Matt Stone had agreed to a new five-year deal with Paramount+ to have their service host all streaming of the show, and for the season to consist of 10 episodes.[3][4]

Production

In September 2024, Parker and Stone stated that season 27 would not air until 2025, reasoning that they wanted to skip on parodying Donald Trump and the 2024 United States presidential election.[5][6] However, the plot of the first episode "Sermon on the 'Mount" featured a parody of Trump, which continued to be a through line in its follow-up episode, "Got a Nut".

The season was originally scheduled to debut on July 9, 2025;[7] however, a new press release from Comedy Central announced the delay of the season until July 23, 2025.[2]
