South Park has completed its 27th season and quickly returned for its 28th season. Viewers were initially confused by this transition, considering that the previous season consisted of only five episodes. What does this mean for the 28th season of South Park?

Here is all the information you need to know about the 28th season of South Park.

South Park episodes usually air on Wednesdays when a new episode is released.

The first episode of the 28th season, «Distorted Christian», - aired on October 15, 2025.
