The gang's returning—yes, Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman are rolling back into town. South Park just dropped the bombshell announcement for Season 27, and judging by the teaser, our foul-mouthed Colorado quartet remains hilariously incapable of handling... well, reality.
The iconic animated series tricked fans with its latest trailer, initially disguising itself as a serious drama preview before revealing its true colors. The dramatic buildup with tense music suddenly cuts to Randy Marsh interrogating his daughter Shelley about drug use—with perfectly twisted parental logic. "Because I think it could really help you," Randy deadpans while sitting beside her Wicked movie poster-adorned bed.
After the brilliant bait-and-switch gag, the trailer dives into chaotic quick cuts teasing the season's controversies—think aviation disasters, Lady Liberty's downfall, P. Diddy cameos, and what appears to be full-blown warfare with Canada. Though honestly, longtime fans saw that last one coming ever since the 1999 cinematic masterpiece South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
The wait finally ends July 9th when Season 27 premieres on Comedy Central, following a two-year break after Season 26. In the interim, we've been treated to three spectacular specials: 2023's Panderverse chaos and Not Suitable For Children, plus 2024's biting End of Obesity satire.
Remarkably, Trey Parker and Matt Stone's boundary-pushing creation continues thriving over 25 years after its explosive 1997 debut—proving that no topic remains sacred when these Colorado kids get involved.
