‘South Park’ Pushes White House Demolition Episode to Halloween Airing

South Park is shaking up its schedule to debut a special Halloween episode centered on the White House demolition. The new episode, titled “The Woman In The Hat,” will shift from the show’s usual Wednesday air time on Comedy Central to air on Friday, October 31st at 10pm ET/PT.

The plot of the episode directly addresses the real-world controversy surrounding the demolition of the White House’s East Wing for the construction of a new ballroom. The official logline for the special promises a politically-charged, holiday-themed narrative when the episode will see the White House grappling with a disruptive spirit reportedly emanating from the East Wing. Simultaneously, Stan, will express concern that the town of South Park has become “too political.”

The hit animated franchise, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, debuted on Comedy Central on August 13, 1997. Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny were first seen in the animated short “The Spirit of Christmas,” and from there were launched into television history. 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.
