South Park Season 27 Drops in New Trailer

The gang's all here - Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman are returning for South Park's 27th season. The iconic Colorado quartet continues to navigate today's chaotic world in their signature irreverent style, though "navigate" might be too generous a term for their approach.

The show's latest trailer cleverly fooled viewers by initially presenting itself as a serious drama preview. Complete with dramatic editing and intense soundtrack, the ominous atmosphere shatters when Randy Marsh appears in his daughter Shelley's bedroom, earnestly suggesting drug use might benefit her - all while a Wicked movie poster hangs prominently in the background.

After this hilarious fake-out, the trailer shifts to quick cuts of what appears to be major season moments: multiple plane disasters, Lady Liberty toppling, a P. Diddy cameo, and what looks like full-scale warfare with Canada. Longtime fans will recognize the Canadian conflict as a recurring theme, especially those familiar with the 1999 cult film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.

Mark your calendars for July 9, 2025 - the premiere date revealed in the teaser, coming over two years after Season 26 concluded. During this hiatus, the show released three specials: 2023's Panderverse and Not Suitable for Children, followed by 2024's The End of Obesity.

Since its 1997 debut on Comedy Central, South Park has maintained its cultural relevance, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2022 while continuing to push boundaries with its sharp social commentary.
