South Park Creators Scramble to Deliver New Twisted Christian Satire
16 Oct
Summary
- South Park abruptly ends Season 27 after 5 episodes
- Season 28 premieres with a new episode "Twisted Christian"
- Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone admit they didn't get the finale done in time
On October 15, 2025, Comedy Central aired the first episode of South Park's Season 28, titled "Twisted Christian," just three weeks after the Season 27 finale. This abrupt transition comes as a surprise, as Season 27 was originally expected to have 10 episodes but will now only have 5, with the remaining 5 episodes airing as Season 28.
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have acknowledged the erratic release schedule, explaining that they "didn't get it done in time" for the Season 27 finale. The pair are known for their last-minute, week-to-week production process, which allows for topical and timely episodes but can also lead to delays.
The new Season 28 premiere continues the show's satirical take on current events, mocking Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel and the "6 7" craze. Meanwhile, the overarching storyline about Donald Trump and Satan's baby also progresses, with Cartman believed to be possessed by the Antichrist.
