'South Park' Returns With Season 27: When And Where To Watch The Iconic Show's Long-Awaited Comeback

The boys of South Park are back after a two-year hiatus and another two-week delay over streaming rights and the ongoing merger between Paramount and Skydance. Comedy Central’s long-running animated comedy show has returned, and so have the four friends, Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny, with new adventures in the quiet, dysfunctional town of 'South Park', Colorado. As the group of friends brings back their signature satirical chaos to screens, check out when and where to watch South Park Season 27. 

South Park returns to television and OTT with a brand new season

After a long wait of two years, South Park has returned with Season 27, and the first episode has already premiered on American television on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, on Comedy Central. For viewers in the US and abroad, new episodes of the show will also be available to watch the day after airing on television. In India, Episode 1 aired today, July 24, at 7:30 a.m. IST.

When and where to watch South Park Season 27?

The American animated sitcom is scheduled for a television broadcast in the US at Comedy Central every Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The same episodes will be available for online streaming the next day on Paramount+. For viewers in India and other regions, South Park Season 27’s episodes will be available for streaming on digital platforms like Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV, or a VPN-enabled Paramount+ account. The first episode has already dropped today.

Following legal pushbacks, thanks to a new multi-billion-dollar streaming deal between creators Trey Parker & Matt Stone and Paramount Global, South Park will now be hosted exclusively on Paramount+ going forward. In a statement following the signing of the new deal, creator Matt Stone said in a statement:

“We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honoured by the trust placed in us. This is about more than a contract — it’s about our commitment to this organisation, our teammates, and our fans. We’re focused on building something special and doing whatever it takes to bring championships to this city.”

Why was Season 27 delayed?

Season 27 of South Park was originally slated for a premiere on July 9, 2025, but it was pushed back last minute due to legal conflicts surrounding the merger between Paramount and Skydance. On July 2, 2025, the show’s creators announced the delay in a social media post and wrote:

“This merger is a sh—show and it’s f—ing up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes, and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.”

What to expect in South Park Season 27?

For long-time South Park fans, it’s no surprise that the show doesn’t hold back. True to its bold, satirical style, the Season 27 premiere dives straight into hot issues like government censorship, chaotic school assemblies, and even a wild take on President Donald Trump. Known for skewering everything from politics and pop culture to religion, South Park is back with its signature no-filter storytelling. 

Until recently, all 26 previous seasons were available only on HBO Max. However, with the new streaming deal, the entire South Park library is being moved to Paramount+ for a global audience. With the legal roadblocks now cleared, Season 27 is officially underway, with ten brand-new episodes scheduled to air in the coming weeks.

What makes South Park a cult favourite show?

South Park debuted in 1997 and has since remained one of the most-talked-about animated sitcoms worldwide. Mainly designed for a mature audience for its bold content, the show centres around four foul-mouthed kids, Stan, Cartman, Kyle, and Kenny, and cleverly comments on real-world issues through the lens of exaggerated absurdity and biting satire. With Season 27 now rolling, it’s safe to say the creators still have a lot to say.
