Trey Parker and Matt Stone explained they don't have anything more to say about Donald Trump. South Park to Return in 2025 as Creators Skip Election “On Purpose” Eddie Fu
Hold on tight, possibly to your butt cheeks, because South Park is back with Season 26 on February 8th. To celebrate the return, Comedy Central has shared a teaser trailer with the words, “There’s no place like here,” and a Season 9 clip of Butters receiving an unfortunate anal probe. Will that hard-to-forget moment get a callback in the new season? The teaser doesn’t say, and considering the short turnaround times under which Trey Parker and Matt Stone work, it’s possible that they themselves don’t know, because none of Season 26 has been written yet. More outstanding questions include, how many episodes will be in Season 26? Season 25 was comprised of only six episodes, though the creators stayed busy with four Paramount+ specials: South Park: Post Covid, South Park: Post Covid...
A small girl sarcastically sang “JOE BIDEN TOOK OUR JOBS!” into a microphone while South Park co-creator Matt Stone laughed uproariously, Dean and Gene Ween provided backup vocals, Primus’ Les Claypool played bass and Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush sat silently smiling. The plumes of smoke emanating from the 9,545 fans jammed into Red Rocks Amphitheatre were especially thick at this moment on Wednesday night (August 10th). It was the second of two sold-out South Park 25th-anniversary shows, starring Stone and his partner, Trey Parker, as ringleaders of a circus in which Ween performed on stage left, Primus manned stage right and “Blame Canada,” “Uncle Fucka,” “What Would Brian Boitano Do?” and other profane “South Park” classics wafted from the middle. If the satire didn’t always come ...
The only thing anyone seemed to know going into last night’s epic South Park birthday bash at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater was that it was going to be wild and weird. In honor of the show’s 25th anniversary, the show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone brought funk-metal band Primus and Ween together for two sold-out nights of comedy, mayhem, and singalongs. They led a rousing “Uncle F**ka,” backed by both bands. The stage was adorned with cutouts of snowy South Park trees, instruments, a few lawn chairs, and a cooler. Even Les Claypool seemed amused. “What the hell is goin’ on here, man” the Primus bassist asked at some point later on. That was the vibe of the night. Throughout the show, Primus and Ween, plus Parker and Stone, traded performing and sitting onstage to watch their ol...
Quick, hide the managers, Randy Marsh has gone “full nuclear Karen” in the new teaser trailer for South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2. The latest South Park movie event premieres July 13th on Paramount+. The first Streaming Wars film arrived on June 1st, and followed South Park: Post Covid and South Part: Post Covid: The Return of Covid from last year. The latest from Trey Parker and Matt Stone is the fourth out of 14 movies in development, and according to an official statement, it shows what happens when a drought comes to Colorado’s most colorful city. “I want in your water park right now!” Randy bellows in the trailer, looking chic with his black hair fluffed and coiffed. Stan’s dad also wields his cell phone as a weapon as he t...
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are not afraid to bite the hand that feeds them, and so execs at Paramount+ might be feeling just a teensy bit nervous about the newly announced special movie event South Park: The Streaming Wars. A very brief teaser trailer is out now. Coming to Paramount+ on June 1st, The Streaming Wars is the third out of 14 movies in development, following the release of South Park: Post Covid and South Part: Post Covid: The Return of Covid last year. Few details are known at this time, but South Park did share a logline for the upcoming event: “Cartman locks horns with his mom in a battle of wills while an epic conflict unfolds that threatens South Park’s very existence.” As for the 15-second teaser trailer, only three seconds are...
Kendrick Lamar is teaming up with South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker for a new live-action comedy. The untitled feature film is being produced by Lamar and Dave Free under their media company pgLang.

Legendary Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim wrote a letter to Trey Parker in 2005 informing the South Park creator that he had voted for Team America: World Police in Academy Awards’ best picture category. In light of Sondheim’s passing last month, the Twitter account for another one of Parker’s beloved projects, The Book of Mormon, shared a letter sent to Parker by Sondheim in February 2005. “I saw Team America and voted for it as the best movie of the year (a fat lot of good it did you),” Sondheim writes in the letter. “I gather from friends to whom I’ve burbled on about it that it was treated rottenly by the critics and that you are much discouraged. I can’t blame you, but then again this is the time of discouragement. In any event, congratulations to you and your partner [Matt Stone]....
It’s no secret that countless local businesses have taken a hit during the pandemic; as it turns out, even being featured in one of the world’s most famous cartoons might not be enough to save you. The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are reportedly attempting to buy Casa Bonita, a restaurant that was featured in a 2003 episode of the show. The company that owns the Colorado landmark filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April, and now Parker and Stone are adamant about keeping it alive. “We want to buy Casa Bonita and treat it right,” Parker told The Hollywood Reporter. “I feel like it was neglected even before the pandemic… We are going to do everything we can.” He added that a possible sale is “in limbo” due to ongoing court proceedings. Casa Bonita is a massive Mex...
An alternate spelling suggests an invasion of alternative facts in South Park’s just-announced one-hour episode, the “South ParQ Vaccination Special”. It airs Wednesday, March 10th at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. This isn’t the first time the cartoon denizens have wrestled with COVID-19. Last September, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone kicked off Season 24 with “The Pandemic Special”, in which Cartman flourished in isolation while Randy began to suspect he had personally created the novel coronavirus. Now it’s time for the townspeople to protect themselves, but there’s a catch. According to the official description, “The citizens of South ParQ are clamoring for the COVID-19 vaccine. A hilarious new militant group tries to stop the boys from getting their teacher vaccinated.” Militant grou...
South Park returned earlier this month with the hour-long “Pandemic Special”, though there’s still no word on when Season 24 will properly begin. In the meantime, creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have teamed with British comedian great Peter Serafinowicz (Amazon’s The Tick, Guardians of the Galaxy) for a new deepfake web series called Sassy Justice. The show is presented as a local Cheyenne, Wyoming news program hosted by American Consumer Advocate Fred Sassy, himself a deepfake of Donald Trump. (The name “Fred Sassy” has to be a play on Trump’s dad, right?) A description of the first episode promises Sass will go “to battle for the common man in his hometown.” First, he’s exposing the dangers of deepfakes — the technological trick of mapping a person’s face on a different person’s body...
If you were wondering what a couple of smart-mouthed assholes think of 2020, wonder no longer: South Park has announced a new hour-long episode addressing the novel coronavirus. “The Pandemic Special” airs Wednesday, September 30th, at 8 p.m. ET. Season 23 came to an end in December of last year, and “The Pandemic Special” kicks off Season 24. As with each of the hundreds of previous episodes, it will be written, produced, and edited by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. A trailer for the special episode is out now, and while Stan, Kyle, and Kenny are expected to be present, the season opener seems to be driven by the show’s agents of chaos, Randy and Cartman. The trailer finds Randy with a galaxy-brain idea to capitalize on quarantine. He announces his own “Pandemic Special,” which the clip...
