“South Park” : Ahead Of Show’s 25th Season Premiere, Paramount+ Plans For Two More Event Specials In 2022

We are something like 24 hours away for the new season of South Park to kick off it’s 25th season on Comedy Central on Feb 2nd @ 8 pm ET. The show will premiere pretty much across all of the entirety of the ViacomCBS cable TV lineup including MTV, MTV2, Logo, and Comedy Central with the latter network airing marathons of the series starting January 31st and from February 3rd – 5th.

Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny do not get to wear their pajamas to school on the most important day of the year in the season 25 premiere of “South Park,” appropriately titled “Pajama Day,” airing on Wednesday, February 2 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.

After failing to show respect for their teacher, PC Principal revokes Pajama Day privileges for the entire 4th grade class. Cartman is distraught. The kids aren’t going to stand for it but PC Principal refuses to back down.

All-new episodes will be available to stream in HD on SouthPark.CC.Com, CC.Com and the Comedy Central App post-premiere on Comedy Central. The 25th season will premiere Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. with repeats later that night at 8:30p.m., 9:00p.m., 9:30p.m., 10:00p.m. and 10:30p.m. (all times ET/PT). South Park will also post the new episode on HBO MAX the very next day as part of a massive $500 million streaming deal with WarnerMedia, one of the many big deals the producers of South Park opted into.  MTV Entertainment Studios’ expansive deal with Parker and Stone includes extending “South Park” on Comedy Central through the 2027 calendar-year and taking cable’s longest-running scripted series through an unprecedented 30th season. The franchise will celebrate its 25th anniversary on August 13, 2022. In addition to the series extension, the new deal includes 14 “South Park” original made-for-streaming events exclusively for Paramount+, including 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.

According to Decider, two more of those South Park streaming events are slated to drop later this year though they may not all be hour-long specials. In a recent chat with Paramount+ programming head Tanya Giles, it was noted that some of these specials could be anywhere between the length of a typical episode to that of a feature-length film more indicative of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. Two specials a year will premiere every year, so that’s 12 more to go if you’re keeping count from home. Giles states, they are very “flexible” with however Matt Stone and Trey Parker want to do things.
