Get ready, South Park fans, because the boys are back in town! Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman are returning for Season 27, and it looks like they’re tackling the state of things in their unique, barely-coping style.
The beloved animated series has just dropped a new trailer for the upcoming season, and it's a masterclass in misdirection. Initially, the trailer teases viewers with what seems like a dramatic sneak peek into a new drama series. The intense editing and suspenseful music set an ominous tone... until Randy and Shelley Marsh pop up on-screen. In a hilariously awkward moment, Randy asks Shelley if she's been taking drugs, suggesting it might help her, all while sitting in front of a Wicked movie poster.
After the gag, the trailer shifts back to showcasing intense action, hinting at several big and topical moments from the season. Expect to see major plane crashes, the Statue of Liberty being toppled, a P. Diddy appearance, and, of course, another war with Canada. If you're a longtime fan or have seen the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, you know that a conflict with Canada is almost a given.
The teaser also confirms that Season 27 will premiere on July 9, 2025, on Comedy Central, marking over two years since the conclusion of Season 26. In the interim, the series has kept fans entertained with 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 since its debut on Comedy Central in 1997. With its sharp wit and fearless approach to current events, Season 27 promises to be another must-watch chapter in the saga of South Park.
