Is South Park on with a new episode tonight? HITC explores the show’s schedule for season 26.
“Ample parking day or night. People spouting ‘Howdy neighbor!’” There’s no place quite like South Park is there? The small mountain town has been on our screens since 1997 and it’s become an unofficial second home for fans of daring comedy.
Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the US TV sitcom has been a Comedy Central staple from the very beginning but its popularity has arguably grown with each season, with the writers never losing sight of what makes the show so appealing.
Covering everything from Prince Harry to Warhammer 40k, you never know what’s going to show up in a new episode, and season 26 has offered some serious gems.
Considering audiences have been enjoying weekly episodes, it’s worth asking a pressing question: Is South Park on with a new episode tonight?
Is South Park on with a new episode tonight?
South Park is airing on Comedy Central on Wednesday, April 5th 2023 but it’s not a new episode.
Season 26 installments have been premiering at 10 pm ET/PT on Comedy Central. However, the network is airing an old episode – season 5 episode 14, Butters’ Very Own Episode – in this slot instead.
Additionally, there will be no new episodes streaming on HBO Max in the US on Thursday, April 6th and there won’t be a seventh installment reaching UK audiences on Paramount+ on Friday, April 7th 2023.
Fortunately, it’s a treat to find that old episodes of South Park are airing on Comedy Central from 2.35 pm through to 3 am the following day, making for a nostalgic marathon.
How many episodes in South Park season 26?
South Park season 26 is made up of six episodes in total, which is why there’s no new episode tonight.
The season finale – titled Spring Break – premiered on Wednesday, March 29th.
Season 25 similarly offered just six episodes. However, two specials followed and we anticipate that another couple of specials will be on the horizon later this year. Indeed, the series has also already been renewed for season 27.
‘Oh my God, this is terrible’
Speaking of Comedy Central airing a season 5 episode, South Park co-creator Trey would agree that you’re in good hands. Anything before that, on the other hand…
“If I had to permanently erase anything from the library, it would basically be anything before season 4,” he previously told The Hollywood Reporter.
“It’s just embarrassing to watch. OK, we were, like, 26, 27. But it’s like, ‘Really? We thought that was funny? We thought that was well-written? Oh my God, this is terrible.’”
