Viewers are curious to know why there’s no new episode of South Park Season 27, premiering on Comedy Central on October 22. The popular animated sitcom centers around four foul-mouthed friends. They embark on several bizarre misadventures and satirically tackle social, political, or supernatural challenges. With no episode premiering this week, many are curious to know the reason behind its delay. So, here are the details.
Why South Park won’t release a new episode of Season 27 next week
South Park Season 27 Episode 7 won’t premiere this week as it has been delayed. Comedy Central has announced the schedule for the next four episodes, so that fans don’t have to keep guessing on the next release dates.
The release schedule for upcoming episodes is as follows:
- Episode 7: October 29
- Episode 8: November 12
- Episode 9: November 26
- Episode 10: December 10
The episode will premiere on Comedy Central and the next day on Paramount+. New users can take advantage of the service’s seven-day trial to surf the library and watch their beloved show. Once the trial ends, they are required to pay for their preferred subscription plans.
Earlier, in an interview with The Denver Post, co-creator Matt Stone revealed the reason why the episodes are getting delayed. This comment came in light of an episode that was supposed to go live on September 17 but was suddenly delayed and shifted to another week. Following this, many were concerned that the episode might have been pulled due to the intense political climate in the nation. However, Stone reassured everyone that this was not the case; the episodes were not completed on time, causing the postponement.
He added, “No one pulled the episode, no one censored us, and you know we’d say so if true. We just didn’t get it done. When you always cut it close, sometimes you mess up. That’s the price of being a procrastinator.” He further explained, “Apparently when you do everything at the last minute, sometimes you don’t get it done.”
Season 27 episode 7 returns next week.
