Save The Dates: South Park Returns, Adventure Time Spin-Off, And More

Look out, President Trump (and basically every celebrity alive): "South Park" is coming back.

Comedy Central's raunchy animated satire will return Wednesday, September 16 at 10 p.m. for Season 29, the network announced on Tuesday. (Season 29 episodes will also be available to stream the next day on Paramount+.) Additional episodes of the six-episode season will air every other Wednesday through November 25.

"South Park" has been no stranger to controversy since its 1997 debut, but it ignited a new firestorm last year when it took on Trump, parodying him with a character that recurred throughout the season and shared his bed with Satan. The firestorm translated to big ratings, too: The July 2025 season premiere earned 5.9 million total cross-platform viewers (in Live+3) and delivered the show's biggest linear season premiere share of the key 18-49 demo since October 1999. The most recent season, Season 28, wrapped up this past December.
