Get ready, because the boys are back in town! We're talking about none other than Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. South Park has officially announced the return of Season 27, and it seems our beloved Colorado crew will be tackling the current state of affairs in their own unique, barely-coping way.
The iconic animated series just dropped a new trailer for the upcoming season, and it's a wild ride. Initially, the trailer tricks viewers into thinking it's a sneak peek at a new drama, with intense editing and suspenseful music setting an ominous tone. But then, in true South Park fashion, the scene shifts to Randy Marsh, Stan's dad, sitting with his sister Shelley on her bed. With a Wicked movie poster hanging in the background, Randy asks Shelley if she's been taking drugs, suggesting, "Because I think it could really help you." Classic South Park humor at its finest!
After this hilarious gag, the trailer returns to high-octane action, hinting at several big and timely moments expected in the season. From major plane crashes and the toppling of the Statue of Liberty to a surprise appearance by P. Diddy and what appears to be another conflict with Canada, fans have a lot to look forward to. And let's be honest, if you've followed the show or seen the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, a war with Canada isn't exactly a surprise.
The teaser confirms that Season 27 of South Park will premiere on July 9, 2025, on Comedy Central, marking over two years since the conclusion of Season 26. In the interim, fans were treated to three specials: 2023's South Park: Joining the Panderverse and South Park (Not Suitable For Children), followed by 2024's South Park: The End of Obesity.
South Park, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, has been a staple on Comedy Central since its debut in 1997, earning near-instant acclaim and a dedicated fanbase that continues to grow.
