The show is likely to end at some point over the next decade, though. South Park season 24 will be followed by 25 and 26Īs mentioned above, South Park has been renewed through to 2022, which should cover the show through to seasons 25 and 26.
While a lot of TV show production has been negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, animation has seemingly been less affected, simply because no one has to navigate the complications of filming on-set with social distancing. We're unsure when South Park return for more episodes after the Pandemic Special, but hopefully it won't be too long.
While this looks challenging as a way of making the show, it does suggest that it's possible we'll see more episodes arriving this year, since the pandemic isn't stopping production. What was your favorite moment from South Park season 23? Let us know in the comments.A making-of video for the Pandemic Special showed how equipment was installed at home for those working on the show, including animators, suggesting this is the norm for the time being. The question is: What will their next announcement be?
Theories aside, the comedy duo will likely provide fans with an update sooner rather than later. They could just be taking a break from working, though odds are South Park’s creators have a new project to focus on. It’s impossible to confirm our theory, but seeing as how season 23 concluded rather abruptly, Parker and Stone might be well into developing the films spoken of above. However, the mere hint suggests Parker and Stone are eying possible dates within the near future. They didn’t provide a release date or even a projected timeframe, leaving us somewhat puzzled. The duo told The Hollywood Reporter back in September that they have ideas unrelated to South Park in the works, confirming their future plans. We should mention that the show’s creators have expressed their interest in producing a feature-length film. Are South Park’s creators working on something else instead? Parker and Stone will then have commentary to share. There’s no telling what’ll happen, but considering the number of candidates campaigning, it’s fair to say some hilarious dialogue will be exchanged during the debates. While South Park’s creators avoided talking about President Trump and politics in season 23, they won’t be able to resist the temptation to touch on the 2020 elections next year. It would behoove Stone and Parker to have a plan laid out for when the 2020 elections roll around. Since the duo spent less time working on their show this year, perhaps they’re planning ahead. The silver lining to the short season is that Trey Parker and Matt Stone could be working on another set of episodes as we speak. But of course, now we know that Episode 2306 would be the last until season 24 premieres.
The season’s latest episode was titled “Season Finale.” South Park returns with a new episode next week.ĭue to the early extension being made, Comedy Central expanding the season length makes more sense than having it shortened. What’s of more intrigue is that South Park recently received a renewal for three more seasons through 2022.ĬORRECTION: South Park season 23 is not ending early.
In comparison to season 22 and 21 which consisted of ten, the switch came as a surprise to us. Unlike prior seasons of the adult-animated comedy, South Park season 23 ended with a mere six episodes. Does this mean Comedy Central is cutting back on the animated series? South Park just wrapped up its’ twenty-third season, though only after six episodes.
