The iconic quartet of Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman are making their much-anticipated return in South Park Season 27, set to tackle the current state of affairs in their uniquely irreverent style. The beloved animated series, which has been a staple of Comedy Central since its debut in 1997, recently dropped a trailer that masterfully tricked viewers into anticipating a dramatic new drama series. The trailer kicks off with intense editing and suspenseful music, setting an ominous tone. However, the mood quickly shifts when Randy, Stan's dad, and his sister Shelley appear on-screen. In a humorous twist, Randy asks Shelley if she's been taking drugs, suggesting it might help her, all while sitting in front of a Wicked movie poster.
Following this gag, the trailer reverts to showcasing intense action sequences, hinting at several significant and topical events for the upcoming season. Expect to see major plane crashes, the dramatic toppling of the Statue of Liberty, a cameo by P. Diddy, and, unsurprisingly for fans, another conflict with Canada—a nod to the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.
Mark your calendars for the premiere of South Park Season 27, set for July 9, 2025, on Comedy Central. This comes over two years after the conclusion of Season 26, during which time the series has kept fans engaged with 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.
As South Park celebrates its 25th anniversary since its acclaimed debut in 1997, fans can look forward to more of the sharp social commentary and outrageous humor that have made the show a cultural phenomenon.
