The boys are back in town — and by the boys, we're talking about Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. South Park is set to return for Season 27, and it seems our favorite Colorado crew will be tackling the state of the world in their unique, barely-coping style.
The beloved animated series released a trailer for the upcoming season, cleverly misleading the audience into thinking it was a dramatic sneak peek at a new drama. The trailer's intense editing and ominous music set the stage... until Randy, Stan's dad, and his sister Shelley appear on-screen. Randy asks Shelley if she's been taking drugs, suggesting, "Because I think it could really help you," as they sit on her bed with a Wicked movie poster in the background.
South Park Season 27 is slated to premiere on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025. After the initial gag, the trailer shifts back to intense action, hinting at several significant and topical events for the season. Expect to see major plane crashes, the Statue of Liberty being toppled, a P. Diddy appearance, and yet another war with Canada. Longtime fans, or those familiar with the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, won't be surprised by the latter.
The teaser confirms that Season 27 will debut on Comedy Central, marking over two years since the conclusion of Season 26. In the interim, the series has aired 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 celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, having first aired on Comedy Central in 1997 to immediate acclaim.
