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 appears our favorite Colorado crew will be tackling contemporary issues with their signature irreverence.
The beloved animated series unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming season, cleverly misleading viewers into thinking it was a dramatic 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, suggesting it might help her, as they sit on her bed with a Wicked movie poster in the background.
South Park Season 27 is scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025. Following the initial gag, the trailer shifts back to intense action, hinting at several significant and topical events for the season. These include multiple plane crashes, the toppling of the Statue of Liberty, a cameo by P. Diddy, and a war with Canada — a plotline that long-time fans of the show, or those familiar with the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, might anticipate.
The teaser also confirms that Season 27 will debut on Comedy Central, marking over two years since the conclusion of Season 26. Since then, the series has released 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 critical acclaim.
