South Park Season 27 is back on the air this week after a three-week hiatus. What time can you watch it on cable or stream it?
Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s politically charged season — which kicked off on July 23 — has been an on-again, off-again affair on cable’s Comedy Central, which airs the show before it moves to streaming on Paramount+ the next morning. Up until the last new episode — Episode 5, titled Conflict of Interest — new episodes were being released every other week.
Then, in a note on the day Episode 5 was supposed to air on Sept. 17, the release was postponed for a week because, as Parker and Stone wrote in a message on X, “Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don’t get it done,” they said. “This one’s on us. We didn’t get it done in time. Thanks to Comedy Central and ‘South Park’ fans for being so understanding. Tune in next week!”
After the episode was released on Sept. 24, South Park took another three-week hiatus, which ends Wednesday with the release of Episode 6 on cable and satellite on Comedy Central at 10 a.m. ET/PT. Per usual, the episode will begin streaming on Paramount+ at 6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT on Thursday morning.
Details About ‘South Park’ Season 27, Episode 6 Are Still Unknown
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone typically don’t reveal what each given episode is about until the day it airs, and even then, the teasers they release on social media are brief and typically contain a pair of images from the episode. Sometimes the teasers come in the form of 20-second promotional clips, but even those typically aren’t released until a day before a new episode airs.
As of the publication of this article, Parker and Stone have given no indication of what Episode 6 will be about.
However, since President Donald Trump and/or his administration, policies and MAGA supporters have been the target of ridicule by the pair the entire season, it would be a shock if they veered off course for Episode 6. While Episode 5 ramped up the Trump and Satan saga that has been going on all season, Parker and Stone seized the opportunity to poke fun at Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr.
The FCC chair’s name was in the headlines, of course, following the freedom of speech controversy stemming from Disney’s suspension of ABC talk show host Jimmy Kimmel over comments he made about Republicans following the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September. Neither Kimmel nor Kirk — who was lampooned in Episode 2 in August — was mentioned in the episode.
With Kimmel back on the air, don’t be surprised if Parker and Stone turn their attention to another hot topic like the partial shutdown of the federal government. Of course, viewers will only know for sure when South Park Season 27 returns with Episode 6 on Wednesday night on Comedy Central and Paramount+ on Thursday morning.
