The boys are back in town — and by the boys, we mean Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. South Park is set to return for Season 27, and it looks like our favorite Colorado crew will be tackling the state of things, albeit in their characteristic, barely-coping manner.
The beloved animated series unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming season, cleverly tricking the audience into thinking it was a sneak peek at a new drama. The trailer's intense editing and music set an ominous tone... until Randy, Stan’s dad, and his sister Shelley appear on-screen. Randy asks Shelley if she's been taking drugs, saying, "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 major and topical events for the season, including multiple plane crashes, the toppling of the Statue of Liberty, a P. Diddy appearance, and yet another conflict with Canada. Longtime fans, or those who have seen the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, won't be surprised by the latter.
The teaser confirms that the season will debut on July 9, 2025, on Comedy Central, marking over two years since the conclusion of Season 26. In the interim, the series has released 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, having debuted on Comedy Central to near-instant acclaim back in 1997.
