When and Where to Watch
The third episode of South Park's twenty-eighth season will become available on Friday, October 25th, continuing the show's tradition of weekly releases throughout its current run.

Comedy Central remains the primary broadcaster in the US, with episodes typically airing at 8pm ET/PT. For British audiences, the episode will be accessible via Paramount+ streaming service. The platform usually makes new episodes available for streaming shortly after they conclude their American broadcast, meaning UK fans can expect to watch from approximately 1am BST on Saturday morning.
Streaming Access Details

What to Expect from Season 28
Season twenty-eight has already demonstrated the show's continued relevance with its signature blend of social commentary and outrageous humour. The season premiere tackled contemporary issues with the series' characteristic satirical edge, establishing themes that will likely continue throughout the season.
Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park maintains its format of twenty-two minute episodes, each meticulously produced within a tight schedule that allows for commentary on current events. This production approach has become one of the show's defining characteristics since its 1997 debut.
The series continues to follow the adventures of Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick in their fictional Colorado hometown. While specific plot details for episode three remain under wraps, viewers can anticipate the show's trademark combination of childhood innocence and sharp societal critique.
With over twenty-five years on air, South Park holds the position of one of American television's longest-running scripted series. Its ability to evolve while maintaining core elements continues to attract both loyal viewers and new audiences, ensuring its place in the cultural landscape for the foreseeable future.
