The chaotic residents of South Park are preparing for another outrageous adventure as the show's unexpected 28th season continues. Fans are eagerly awaiting the next instalment, which follows the series' surprising mid-season reboot.
When to Watch the Next Episode in the UK
For viewers in Britain, the release schedule for the iconic animated comedy follows a specific pattern. The new episode will be available for streaming on Paramount+ from 2pm GMT on Thursday, November 13.
If you prefer traditional television broadcasts, the episode will also air on Comedy Central UK at 10pm on the same evening, November 13. This dual-release strategy ensures fans can watch the latest antics of Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny at their convenience.
Understanding South Park's Unusual Release Pattern
The show maintains its distinctive every-other-week schedule for new episodes, barring any rare production delays. This pattern was briefly interrupted during season 27 when an episode was pushed back a week at the last minute, but such occurrences are infrequent.
The release timing for the UK follows the international pattern set by Paramount+. The episode first airs in the United States on Comedy Central at 10pm ET/PT on Wednesday, November 12. It then becomes available globally on Paramount+ the following day at 6am PT / 9am ET (which translates to 2pm GMT in the UK).
Why Did Season 28 Start So Suddenly?
Many fans were caught off guard when season 27 concluded and season 28 began abruptly on October 15. This was a significant departure from expectations, as viewers anticipated a full ten-episode run for season 27.
However, a representative for the show clarified the situation to the Hollywood Reporter, explaining that "Season 27 was never meant to be a full 10 episodes, and the showrunners had planned all along for Seasons 27 and 28 to bow at five episodes each".
This strategic split allowed creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to launch the new season with fresh momentum, having already tackled contemporary topics like the 6-7 meme, Peter Thiel, and Vice President JD Vance in the season 28 opener. The new season is expected to continue through late 2025, maintaining its signature satirical edge on current events.
