- Quick Answer: Ahead of its Season 29 premiere on September 16, South Park jokingly renamed itself "South America" to satirize recent real-world political developments and corporate actions.
The producers of South Park have announced a cheeky "new title" for the iconic series ahead of its season 29 premiere this month.
The long-running animated series, which recently won an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program, is returning soon with a new season that will continue the adventures of Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny in the titular town and poke fun at current political and pop culture events. Fans are looking forward to seeing what they have in store for its next chapter.
Now, ahead of the season premiere next week, they made a hilarious new announcement in response to recent political news.
What Is South Park's New Title?
The team behind South Park recently announced that the hit animated series is being renamed "South America" ahead of the 29th season premiere next week.
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said in the announcement, "Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA. We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount -- a Skydance Capitulation."
It should be noted that this announcement is simply a joke from the producers, as they skewered the recent news that President Donald Trump has renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America following a trade dispute with Canada.
Not only that, but they also poked fun at their parent company, Paramount, which is in the process of an ongoing merger with Warner Bros. Discovery that was already approved by the Trump administration.
If anything, this is simply an indication that the series will continue to poke fun at the Trump administration in the upcoming season, similar to last year's season, when they were in the headlines for their relentless skewering of the US President and his allies.
What to Expect in South Park Season 29 (aka South America)
The 29th season of South Park (or "South America") will premiere on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 10:00 PM ET/PT on Comedy Central. New episodes will be available to stream on Paramount+.
