November 14, 2024: We’re nearly at the end of the year, and we’ve finally got some new information on the new South Park season. Read on to learn more!

It’s been well over a year since the most recent season of South Park released. Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s beloved animated comedy is rivalled only by The Simpsons for its longevity, and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, both 2022 and 2023 have seen a slew of bumper-length South Park specials, most recently with May’s The End of Obesity. But when is the South Park season 27 release date? Let’s find out.

When is the South Park Season 27 Release Date?

South Park Season 27 will release in 2025. However, it does not have a concrete release date yet.

It’s hard to predict, because South Park’s release schedule has been pretty unpredictable over the past few years. While bumper-length specials have been dropping roughly every six months, the episode release pattern since 2019 has been fairly erratic.

Both Seasons 25 and 26 debuted in February of their respective years (2022 and 2023), running for six episodes each. By that logic we could’ve assumed that South Park Season 27 would begin airing in February 2024 on Paramount+ and Comedy Central, but this didn’t happen.

Following a Vanity Fair interview from September 2024, we now know that South Park will return for Season 27 in 2025. There’s no specific news on a specific release window, but it’s down to Paramount’s own internal organisation and a desire to avoid satirising the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

As such, a concrete release date is impossible to predict. Until then, all we can do is speculate. That said, we know for sure that Season 27 of South Park is coming, after the show was renewed until 2027 back in 2021. There’s no doubt as to if we’ll get another season of episodes, but more a case of whenabouts in 2025.

Regardless, fans have still got the new The End of Obesity special to tide them by until further news on the new season of South Park is released. Keep an eye on the show’s social media channels such as its X page, Facebook page, and YouTube channel. Those are the first places that a broadcast date will appear!
