South Park
has made a career out of chaos, and after nearly three decades, it is still roasting reality like a Thanksgiving turkey. From Vladimir Putin to ChatGPT, nothing was safe in season 26, and season 27 is about to double down on the madness. With Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny back in their usual unhinged form, expect satire so savage it might need a warning label. After the long wait, fans are now wildly speculating whether Netflix will score the streaming rights.
With hype levels off the charts and fans desperate for answers, here is everything you need to know about when and where South Park’s
next wild ride will begin.
South Park season 27 drop details: Is Netflix the next home?
Originally scheduled for July 9, South Park
Season 27 has been delayed to July 23, with the premiere airing at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central in the US.
Paramount confirmed the new date after dropping an April trailer packed with chaos—ketamine escapades, a w– against Canada, plumbing catastrophes, air traffic meltdowns, and even a space-dwelling P.Diddy. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are clearly not pulling any punches. However, no, the show is not heading to Netflix.

Max currently hosts the full South Park
catalog, with paid streaming also available on Philo, YouTube TV, and fuboTV. Season 26 premiered in March 2023 with only six episodes, and if the trend continues, Season 27 may be similarly short. The season skipped the 2024 presidential election, a deliberate move by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who have covered it extensively before. Despite delays, the show is renewed through Season 30, and the creators have finally addressed the setback.
Comedy Central is reportedly clashing with creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone in a streaming-rights standoff with Paramount Global, and the duo did not stay quiet about it.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone have publicly slammed the ongoing streaming rights chaos, calling the Paramount-Skydance merger a disaster. In a press release, they stated, “This merger is a s—show and it’s f—— up South Park,”
while adding that they are at the studio working on new episodes, unsure when fans will actually see them. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the duo has threatened legal action, accusing incoming Paramount president Jeff Shell of interfering in their talks with Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix.

Paramount still holds the digital rights to South Park
under a $900 million deal with two years remaining, keeping the series locked on Paramount+. Trey Parker and Matt Stone reportedly believe Jeff Shell is aiming to block external bids to maintain exclusivity. Meanwhile, one of the show’s most infamous moments—Ye, formerly Kanye West
, featured in the surreal Fish Sticks joke
—continues to live rent-free in fan memory. New episodes, once released, will be available for streaming exclusively on Paramount+.
