In News That Should Excite Ed Sheeran: South Park Season 25 Gets Start Date For Comedy Central
Ed Sheeran claims South Park ruined his life because the show did an episode called “Ginger Kids” and because Ed has red hair that became a thing. I guess that’s what ultimately led Ed to eventually be sued by TLC, Marvin Gaye, and others for plagiarism.
In any event, Comedy Central today announced that the 25th Season of the renowned franchise, “South Park,” returns on Wednesday, February 2. The celebration of 25 seasons kicks off with six brand new episodes. All-new episodes will be available to stream in HD on SouthPark.CC.com,CC.com and the Comedy Central App post-premiere. In Australia, the series will premiere Feb 3rd on 10 Shake.
Based on the animated short entitled “The Spirit of Christmas.” Co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are executive producers, along with Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II. Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are producers. Christopher Brion is the creative director of South Park Digital Studios. “South Park’s” website is SouthPark.CC.com.
MTV Entertainment Studios’ expansive deal with Parker and Stone includes extending “South Park” on Comedy Central through 2027 and taking cable’s longest-running scripted series – August 13, 2022 marks the franchise’s 25th anniversary – through an unprecedented 30th season. In addition to the series extension, the new deal includes 14 “South Park” original made-for-streaming events exclusively for Paramount+, including this year’s “SOUTH PARK: POST COVID” and “SOUTH PARK: POST COVID: THE RETURN OF COVID”. The series has earned five Emmy Awards, to date, and a George Foster Peabody Award.







There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
