The boys are back in town — and by the boys, we mean the iconic quartet of Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. South Park is set to return with Season 27, and it seems our favorite Colorado crew is tackling contemporary issues in their signature, barely-coping style.
The beloved animated series released a new trailer for the upcoming season, cleverly tricking the audience into expecting a dramatic new show. The trailer's intense editing and ominous music set the stage for a gripping drama... until Randy and Shelley Marsh appear. Randy, sitting on Shelley's bed with a Wicked movie poster in the background, casually asks her if she's been taking drugs, suggesting, "Because I think it could really help you."
South Park Season 27 is slated to premiere on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025. Following the initial gag, the trailer shifts back to action-packed scenes, hinting at several significant and topical events. Expect to see plane crashes, the Statue of Liberty being toppled, a P. Diddy cameo, and, of course, a conflict with Canada — a familiar plotline for fans of the series, especially those who've seen the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.
The teaser confirms that Season 27 will debut on Comedy Central, marking over two years since the conclusion of Season 26. Since then, the series has released three specials: South Park: Joining the Panderverse and South Park (Not Suitable For Children) in 2023, and South Park: The End of Obesity in 2024.
South Park, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, has been a staple on Comedy Central since its debut in 1997, earning near-instant acclaim and a dedicated fanbase.
