Come on down to “South Park” again.

Season 29 of the raunchy animated comedy will premiere on Comedy Central on Sept. 16 at 10 p.m. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Paramount+ (in the U.S., Canada and Australia).

New episodes will drop every other Wednesday: Sept. 30, Oct. 14, Oct. 28, Nov. 11 and Nov. 25.

“South Park” will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2027. The long-running series has been celebrated for decades — winning the Emmy for best animated program five times and receiving 18 nominations.

Last year, the show achieved a new level of cultural relevance when it went after the Trump administration, making the White House a recurring B-plot. The Season 27 premiere in July 2025 featured a patriotic ad from Donald Trump, which showed a deepfake of the president stumbling through the desert completely naked. His small, googly-eyed penis even speaks: “I’m Donald J. Trump, and I endorse this message.”

The following episodes featured an ongoing love affair between Trump and Satan himself, as well as a miniature, babyish JD Vance whose voice resembles Tattoo from “Fantasy Island.” Season 27 was the most watched “South Park” season in six years, becoming the No. 1 show on cable in 2025 among the 18-49 year-old demographic.

“South Park” is created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who executive produce alongside Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II. Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are producers. Christopher Brion is the creative director of South Park Digital Studios.
