In an interview with Bloomberg, ‘South Park’ co-creator Matt Stone revealed that it has been a while since new episodes aired due to his involvement in an upcoming movie project with Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free. However, Stone assured fans that ‘South Park’ will return with new episodes in 2025.
“We are working on a movie. We are doing a movie with Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free and their company,” ‘South Park’ series co-creator Matt Stone noted when asked by Bloomberg why there haven’t been any ‘South Park’ updates since last Spring. This new project with Kendrick Lamar’s team has yet to reveal its title, but Stone is confident that it will be releasing on the July 4th weekend opposite some tough competition, “We are working on it, and it will hopefully come out July 4th weekend…opposite ‘Jurassic Park…’ which is pretty funny.” As for new ‘South Park,’ that’s coming later in the year.
He added, “Beginning of next year, we are coming back with one episode, and a bunch more in the second half of 2025. But we are working on something.”
Season 27 of ‘South Park’ is currently in production and is expected to air in 2025, according to Stone’s comments. It’s also anticipated that at least one new special episode will premiere on Paramount+ later in the year.
Season 26, which aired in 2023, was notably short with only six episodes. The creators have also stated they are largely avoiding releasing new episodes later in 2024 due to the U.S. Presidential election, citing challenges with creating new content during past election years.
