‘South Park’ Season 29 Release Schedule Brings Consistency After Messy 2025
Yahoo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Trey Parker and Matt Stone's South Park returns with Season 29, Episode 1 airing on Comedy Central Wednesday night and streaming on Paramount+ Thursday morning, after a more consistent release schedule compared to last year's delays.
- The 2025 season faced delays due to Paramount Global's merger talks with Skydance and last-minute dealmaking, including a $1.5 billion agreement for 50 new episodes over five years.
- Season 27 experienced two-week breaks between episodes and occasional delays blamed on production challenges rather than censorship, with Parker and Stone acknowledging last-minute work led to missed deadlines.
- Comedy Central announced that Season 29 episodes will air every other week, with the first six episodes scheduled from September 16 through November 25, available on cable Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT and streaming Thursdays on Paramount+.
- Given the new deal for 50 episodes over five years, fans can expect continued production and biweekly releases, providing more predictable viewing through at least early 2027.
