Season 24 of South Park has already begun, with extra-long special episodes serving as a kickoff to the season. But when will new episodes of the show begin airing?
There are hundreds of projects now in the works, which means the staff has been kept quite busy indeed.
Although the specials are legally counted as the first three episodes of season 24, fans have been anticipating the resumption of weekly episodes since September 2020, when the season will premiere.
Listed here is all the information you’ll need to know about the remaining episodes.
South Park Season 24 Release Date
Technically, South Park season 24 looks to be already in full swing, due to the three coronavirus-themed specials that have aired over the course of the past year on the show.
There was the ‘Pandemic Special,’ in which Randy was implicated in the emergence of the COVID-19 virus, which caused widespread consternation at the time of its broadcast. Then there was the ‘Vaccination Special,’ which took aim at QAnon conspiracy theorists and became immensely meta when the already immunised retirees of South Park went on a wild goose chase.
South Park: Post Covid premiered just in time for Thanksgiving, following the lives of Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny as they adjust to the “new normal” that has emerged following the epidemic.
The show also provided a look into the adult lives of the always young pre-teens.
At this time, Comedy Central has not stated when future episodes will be released, or even whether the show will continue to run on a weekly basis. But we do know that there will be one, if not in its current shape, then in some other.

No. of Episodes
Season 24 of South Park has already begun as part of the specials, so you can bet that the creative team behind it will make things difficult for everyone.
However, they won’t be really tied to the episodes that will eventually make up the remainder of season 24 of The Walking Dead.
While it is doubtful that the programme would overlook the epidemic or its consequences, they will not make it a central focus as they have in the past.
As a result, it has not yet been established how many episodes will really be released in total. Previously released seasons have been around 10 episodes in length, which has been the case since season 17. For more exciting upcoming movies and season, you can explore Keeperfacts

South Park 25: Will Come?
There is good news for fans! Yes, there will be more seasons in the future. In a massive $900million contract, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the show has been granted the green light to produce 14 “made for television features of undefined duration” for Paramount+, as well as a season 30 of South Park for the network.
Included in this is South Park: The Post Covid Special as well as a second special that will air before the end of 2021.
The pair also stated that the show’s legacy of delving into taboo themes with its dark comedy will not be forgotten anytime soon.
“We have been waiting to get cancelled for 30 years,” Stone told THR at the announcement. “It changes who is involved with it. But we have been dealing with this shit the whole time we have been making the show. And we can’t complain. Things have been going fine for us. It gives us fodder and gives us something to talk about.”
The programme will continue to air until at least 2027, but unlike the demonic, cannibalistic Hollywood elite, South Park will not continue to exist indefinitely once its current run ends.
In fact, the series’ creators, Parker and Stone, have already expressed their desire to put the series to a close.
“I don’t think we have ever had an ‘OK, let’s sit down and decide if we are going to keep going,'” Parker told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year.
And in 2019, Stone said: “I am 48. Trey turns 50 this year. So I will say that I don’t think we will be doing this show when we’re 60.”
South Season 24 Trailer
A trailer for the complete, episodic season 24 of Comedy Central has yet to be released, and it’s unclear whether or not one will be released in the typical format.
If this season is to be comprised of more hour-long episodes, it is possible that we will instead be treated to a series of trailers for each of the special episodes.
If there are any new trailers or teasers released, we will be sure to keep you posted.
Seasons one and two of South Park air on Comedy Central and are available for streaming on NOW TV, Amazon’s Prime Video, and Netflix.
