Probably as expected given that Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the sole writers of South Park that typically make episodes in under a week, were at San Diego Comic-Con this last weekend thereby making it more difficult to complete an episode of South Park in the allotted time, South Park’s epic season continues on Wednesday, August 6 at 10/9c on Comedy Central and next day on Paramount+.
The last episode has already received the ire of President Trump himself but not before South Park had closed a massive deal with Paramount/Skydance that officially made the duo billionaires and has already inspired memes of the new Donald Trump effigy that’s already getting murals painted. The numbers are in and South Park pulled in nearly 500,000 viewers in the overnights for Comedy Central making it by far the biggest animated comedy on cable for the year, and the streaming debut on Paramount+ has already seen spikes of 260% for the streamer that is now playing catch-up with the big boys of streaming.
Synopsis:
“South Park,” created by comic geniuses Trey Parker and Matt Stone, features the breathtakingly irreverent and ruthlessly funny misadventures of four foul-mouthed, troublemaking young boys in a small town nestled in the Colorado Rockies. It has been praised by the prestigious Peabody® committee as “COMEDY CENTRAL’s notoriously rude, undeniably fearless lampoon of all that is self-important and hypocritical in American life, regardless of race, creed, color or celebrity status.” We couldn’t agree more. “South Park” continues to surprise even its most devoted fans each and every week. Known for its unbelievably immediate and ruthless responses to world events, “South Park’s” new episodes bring up-to-the-minute news and pop culture icons (including Al Gore, J. Lo, Kanye West, Oprah, Sir Elton John, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and P. Diddy) to the town of South Park for social commentary and good old-fashioned ridicule. “South Park” launched on August 13, 1997 and is 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, Bill Hader, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are Producers. “South Park’s” Web site is www.SouthPark.cc.com.
