South Park's airing has been delayed, but reports suggest that its scheduled broadcast is now confirmed following missed deadlines and setbacks.
The much-anticipated fifth episode of South Park Season 27 will now air on Wednesday, September 24, Comedy Central has announced. Originally scheduled for an earlier release, the delay comes as part of a revised schedule for the remainder of the season.
The new schedule sees the next episode airing on October 15, with subsequent episodes following every three weeks. This bimonthly approach is in line with the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone's, aim to maintain the quality of the animation and storytelling.
The delay in the fifth episode could be due to a variety of factors. It's speculated that the episode may have required more work due to the inclusion of beloved characters for special stories, the abundance of new locations and characters that needed more design work, or perhaps the overall tiredness of the team involved.
However, it's important to note that no credible sources have reported any incidents of someone 'dropping the ball' in the production of South Park Season 27, causing the delay.
The fifth episode will still be available for streaming on Paramount+, alongside the season's other episodes, which began airing on July 23, 2025, as scheduled.
This fifth episode marks the halfway point of Season 27's 10-episode run, and the network has assured fans that it will be the last example of delays ahead of the hiatus before Season 28. The creators are using this delay to ensure that the animation is up to their high standards, promising fans a visually stunning and hilarious episode.
Fans can look forward to the return of their favourite characters and the continuation of the season's storyline when the fifth episode of South Park Season 27 airs on September 24.
