All new episodes of Season 27 will follow this release time schedule, with single episodes dropping weekly – unless there is a delay. Episode 2 arrived a week later than normal due to the fast turnaround of the show, and thesame goes for Episode 3.

In addition to this, Episode 3 was due to drop on August 13, but this was pushed back due to the date marking the 28th anniversary of South Park’s premiere. Instead, Comedy Central hosted a full day of reruns.
How many episodes are there?
There are10 episodesin South Park Season 27, which will no doubt be music to the ears of fans.
In recent years, South Park seasons have been noticeably shorter, with some chapters only running for six episodes or focusing on standalone specials.
This shift came as Parker and Stone balanced their massive Paramount deal alongside an ongoing tug-of-war betweenHBO Maxover streaming rights.
But with Season 27, the show is back to a traditional format, with the recent five-year $1.5 billion licensing agreement including 50 new episodes across five seasons.
Speaking about the deal, Stone said (viaDeadline), “Trey and I and the whole South Park crew are grateful for this extension and this deal.
“We want to thank Chris McCarthy and Keyes Hill-Edgar for years of great partnership and are looking forward to continuing to make South Park for the next five years.”
Parker added, “We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honored by the trust placed in us. This is about more than a contract – it’s about our commitment to this organization, our teammates, and our fans.”

As said, new episodes land on Wednesdays on Comedy Central and Thursdays on Paramount Plus. Here’s the full release schedule for South Park Season 27, but this is subject to change:
How to watch South Park
If you have cable TV or a platform that offers Comedy Central, you can watch new episodes of South Park as they air live. But if you can wait a few hours, the best way to watch Season 27 is via Paramount Plus.
Why you should watch South Park Season 27 Episode 3
If there were any doubts about South Park losing its edge, Episode 1 blew them straight to hell – literally. Within minutes, the hit TV show had the internet in meltdown mode after depictingDonald Trumpin a relationship with Satan.
But it’s the ending that really ramped things up, showing afake ad of live-action Trumpwalking through the desert naked before his “teeny-tiny” penis speaks and “endorses” the message.
In Episode 2, Trump and Satan returned, while Cartman became Charlie Kirk, Mr. Mackey joined ICE, and Krypto the Superdog got shot dead.
They’re the kind of episodes that remind you why South Park has stayed relevant for nearly three decades – Parker and Stone aren’t afraid to cross the line, redraw it, and then set it on fire.
With eight episodes still to go, we can expect more biting commentary, chaos, and moments you’ll be texting your group chat about at 3am. Episode 3 is next, and if the last two are anything to go by, nobody’s safe.
