  • Comedy Central’s logline says the White House contends with a disruptive spirit from the East Wing as Stan worries the town has become too political.
  • Promotional images show Trump with the show’s Satan character overseeing the East Wing teardown, with administration figures depicted as being haunted.
  • Following the Halloween special, new episodes are currently slated for Nov. 12, Nov. 26 and Dec. 10, with next-day streaming on Paramount+.
  • The White House has confirmed the East Wing demolition to make room for a new ballroom, and trade reports describe the project at roughly $300 million as the show continues to draw official pushback.
