"South Park Season 27 Release Date Revealed: Topical Trailer Unveiled"

The boys are back in town — and by the boys, we mean the iconic quartet of Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. South Park has officially announced the much-anticipated return for Season 27, and it seems our beloved Colorado crew is tackling the state of the world in their signature, barely-coping style.

The beloved animated series cleverly unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming season, initially misleading the audience into thinking it was a sneak peek at a dramatic new series. With intense editing and suspenseful music, the trailer set an ominous tone... until Randy and Shelley Marsh appear on-screen. In a classic South Park twist, Randy asks Shelley if she’s been taking drugs, suggesting, “Because I think it could really help you,” as they sit on her bed with a Wicked movie poster in the background.

South Park Season 27 is set to premiere on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025. Following the initial gag, the trailer shifts back to intense action, hinting at several significant and topical moments to come in the season. Expect to see major plane crashes, the Statue of Liberty being toppled, a P. Diddy cameo, and, unsurprisingly for fans, a war with Canada, reminiscent of the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

The teaser also confirms that Season 27 will premiere on Comedy Central, marking over two years since the conclusion of Season 26. In the interim, the series has released three specials: 2023’s South Park: Joining the Panderverse and South Park (Not Suitable For Children), followed by 2024’s South Park: The End of Obesity.

South Park celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, a testament to its enduring popularity and critical acclaim since its debut on Comedy Central in 1997.
