Overview

• Paramount confirmed the Sept. 3 and Sept. 17 air dates via email, establishing an every-other-Wednesday cadence through September.
• The change follows three Season 27 episodes with breaks, marking a move away from the show’s recent weekly release pattern.
• If the schedule continues, the 10-episode season is on pace to conclude around Dec. 10, according to industry reporting.
• A source close to the producers says episodes need more time to remain up-to-the-minute, as Paramount touts double-digit streaming growth, including a 49% three-day lift for Episode 2702 and 6.2 million multi-platform viewers.
• New installments debut on Comedy Central before streaming on Paramount+, with this season’s political satire drawing a critical statement from the White House.
