AceShowbiz - South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have confirmed that new episodes of the long-running animated series will premiere on Comedy Central this September. The announcement was made during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where the duo revealed the upcoming season’s debut date.

During the interview, Parker and Stone informed host Jimmy Kimmel that the new episodes are scheduled to begin airing on September 16. When Kimmel humorously asked if the team would start working on the episodes the day before, Parker responded that production would actually resume in the last week of August, although workdays would be limited to just a few hours each day.

This update arrives roughly five months after Season 28 concluded in December, a season that notably consisted of only five episodes. Since then, fans have been awaiting news about when new installments would return to Comedy Central’s lineup.

Season 28 drew attention for its controversial storyline involving former President Donald Trump and a bizarre plotline about his attempt to abort a child he fathered with Satan. The narrative also featured characters such as Vice President JD Vance and self-described “antichrist expert” Peter Thiel, themes that Parker and Stone briefly discussed on the Kimmel show.

Despite the network ownership changes—Comedy Central is now under Paramount Skydance, a company linked to Trump supporter David Ellison—the future of South Park on the channel remains secure. Last summer, the creators resolved a dispute with Paramount over the show’s global streaming rights, finalizing a deal worth $1.5 billion that brought South Park to Paramount+ in the United States.

The agreement includes a commitment to produce 50 new episodes across five seasons, with Parker and Stone agreeing to deliver at least 10 episodes annually. At the time of the deal, Chris McCarthy, then co-CEO of Paramount Global and president of Showtime/MTV Entertainment, praised the duo’s unique creative vision and the show’s enduring popularity. He highlighted South Park as one of the most valuable TV franchises worldwide, expressing excitement about the partnership ensuring the show’s presence on Comedy Central and Paramount+ for years to come.

As of now, Comedy Central representatives have not issued a response regarding the upcoming season’s announcement. However, fans of the series can look forward to the new episodes starting mid-September, continuing the satirical tradition that has defined South Park for decades.
