South Park<\/a> will return to Comedy Central this September with Season 29, co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a>, Parker and Stone said new episodes will be released on September 16. Comedy Central and Paramount+ followed up to say the 29th season will premiere Wednesday, September 16 at 10pm ET\/PT on Comedy Central. New episodes will be available to stream on Paramount+ around the world, with next-day availability in the U.S., Canada and Australia. Additional new episodes will premiere on Wednesdays: September 30, October 14, October 28, November 11, and November 25, which means fans will get a new episode every two weeks.<\/p>\n

Season 28 came to an end in December after a number of controversial episodes that sparked responses from a number of politicians and even the White House. Its overarching story saw Donald Trump try and fail to convince Satan not to go through with having their \u2018butt baby,\u2019 aka the Antichrist. Vice president J.D. Vance even conspired with Trump to try to murder the baby.<\/p>\n

South Park abruptly brought Season 27 to an end after just five episodes, and Season 28 ended after the same number. It looks like Season 29 will run for five episodes, too, suggesting Season 30 will follow soon after with an additional five episodes.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, Parker and Stone create each episode week by week, which makes for a chaotic production but topical shows. Comedy Central had delayed the Season 27 ender just hours before it was due to air, with Parker and Stone insisting the blame lay at their door<\/u><\/a>. \u201cApparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don\u2019t get it done,\u201d the pair told Variety<\/u><\/a>. \u201cThis one\u2019s on us. We didn\u2019t get it done in time. Thanks to Comedy Central and South Park fans for being so understanding. Tune in next week!\u201d As far as we at IGN are aware, Parker and Stone had missed the scheduled release of South Park just once before, due to a power outage, but never for not getting an episode done in time.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that during their San Diego Comic-Con 2025 panel<\/u><\/a>, which took place the day after the Donald Trump-skewering Season 27 opener aired, Parker said he and Stone were unsure what the next episode would be, revealing the decision was \u201csuper stressful.\u201d It roasted Trump to such an extent that it sparked a rebuttal from the White House. Parker and Stone have said they were attracted to \u201cnew taboos\u201d and a fear of speaking out against the Trump administration<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Parker and Stone joked about South Park’s infamous depiction of Trump’s penis in the Season 27 premiere, showing the simple but effective execution. In the episode, a live-action deepfake of Trump shuffles through the desert before removing all of his clothes. \u201cHis penis is teeny tiny, but his love for us is large,\u201d the PSA voiceover says.<\/p>\n

Parker and Stone\u2019s lucrative deal with Paramount over the global streaming rights to South Park includes the delivery of 50 new episodes over five seasons, with the pair agreeing to produce at least 10 new episodes of South Park a year.<\/p>\n
