The boys are back in town — and by the boys, we mean Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. South Park is gearing up for the much-anticipated Season 27, and it looks like our favorite Colorado crew will be tackling the current state of affairs in their uniquely irreverent style.
The beloved animated series recently dropped a new trailer for the upcoming season, cleverly playing with viewers' expectations by initially presenting it as a sneak peek into a dramatic new series. The trailer starts with intense editing and ominous music, setting the stage for a suspenseful narrative... until Randy and Shelley Marsh break the tension. In a classic South Park twist, Randy asks Shelley if she’s been taking drugs, suggesting it might help her, all while sitting in her room with a Wicked movie poster in the background.
South Park Season 27 is set to premiere on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025. Following the initial gag, the trailer shifts back to showcasing intense action sequences, hinting at several major and topical plot points. Expect to see scenes featuring multiple plane crashes, the dramatic toppling of the Statue of Liberty, a cameo by P. Diddy, and what appears to be another war with Canada. Longtime fans, especially those who enjoyed the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, won't be surprised by the latter.
The teaser confirms that Season 27 will air on Comedy Central, marking the first full season since the conclusion of Season 26 over two years ago. In the interim, the series has kept fans engaged with three specials: 2023’s South Park: Joining the Panderverse and South Park (Not Suitable For Children), followed by 2024’s South Park: The End of Obesity.
South Park celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, a testament to its enduring popularity and critical acclaim since its debut on Comedy Central in 1997.
