  • Comedy Central is airing a full-day marathon of fan-favorite episodes on Aug. 13 to mark South Park’s 28th anniversary instead of debuting Season 27, Episode 3.
  • Season 27, Episode 3 will premiere on Comedy Central on Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 10 p.m. ET and stream exclusively on Paramount+ the morning of Aug. 21.
  • The season’s first two episodes have targeted President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, prompting public rebukes and high social media engagement.
  • Episode 2 drew about 6.2 million global viewers in its first three days, making it the highest-rated Comedy Central telecast since 2018 in key demos.
