South Park Season 27 Returns July 9 With Satirical Take on Current Events

After a two-year hiatus, the iconic series tackles topics like ketamine, airplane crashes, and a fictional U.S.-Canada war in its upcoming season.

Comedy Central has announced that South Park will return for its 27th season on July 9, 2025, marking its longest break since its debut in 1997.
The trailer teases storylines involving ketamine use, multiple plane crashes, and a fictional war between the U.S. and Canada, blending real-world references with the show's trademark satire.
The creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, intentionally delayed the season to avoid covering the 2024 U.S. presidential election, citing creative fatigue and a desire to explore other topics.
The teaser includes nods to recent events, such as the January 2025 Potomac River mid-air collision and Diddy's legal troubles, showcasing the show's continued relevance to current events.
A slowed-down version of 'Blame Canada,' a song from the 1999 South Park movie, underscores the show's self-referential humor and continuity.
