Get ready, fans! The boys from South Park—Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman—are back in town for Season 27, and they're tackling the world as only they can: with their signature blend of barely-contained chaos. The beloved animated series has just released a new trailer that had viewers on the edge of their seats, initially teasing what seemed like a gripping new drama.
The trailer's intense editing and dramatic music set the stage for what felt like a serious sneak peek, until the mood was hilariously shattered by none other than Randy and Shelley Marsh. In a classic South Park twist, Randy asks Shelley if she's been using drugs, suggesting it might help her, all while sitting in front of a Wicked movie poster. It's moments like these that remind us why we love this show so much.
After the gag, the trailer shifts back to showcasing intense action, hinting at a season packed with significant and topical events. From multiple plane crashes to the dramatic toppling of the Statue of Liberty, a cameo from P. Diddy, and yet another war with Canada (a nod to fans familiar with South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut), it's clear that Season 27 won't shy away from the big issues.
Mark your calendars: South Park Season 27 is set to premiere on July 9, 2025, on Comedy Central. This comes over two years after the conclusion of Season 26, during which time the show has kept fans entertained with three specials: 2023's South Park: Joining the Panderverse and South Park (Not Suitable For Children), and 2024's South Park: The End of Obesity.
South Park celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, a testament to its enduring appeal since its debut on Comedy Central in 1997. With its sharp wit and fearless commentary, South Park continues to be a cultural phenomenon that fans eagerly anticipate.
