The long-running animated series South Park has returned with a new season, rebranded as South America. Season 29 premiered on Wednesday, September 16, at 10 p.m. ET on Comedy Central. As in previous seasons, the show is making waves before its episodes even air, this time with a satirical rebranding that pokes fun at the Trump administration.
Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker announced the change with a tongue-in-cheek statement: “Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA.” They extended their thanks to parent company Paramount with a humorous nod, calling it a “Skydance Capitulation.”
When Does South Park Season 29 Come Out?
New episodes will continue to air weekly on Wednesdays at the same time as the premiere. This season’s first episode, titled “South American Biker Gangs,” features young e-bike riders invading the town, transforming it so much that “the parents of South America can hardly recognize South America,” as stated in a social media post from the show.
