The creators of “South Park,” Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have successfully submitted episode 5 of the show’s 27th season on time, ensuring its airing tonight. This comes after a delay last week caused by last-minute production efforts that prevented episode 4 from airing as scheduled on September 17.
Episode 4 included a storyline where Butters pursued a Labubu doll, Satan was revealed to be carrying Trump’s baby, and Jesus struggled as a guidance counselor. Episode 5, titled “Conflict of Interest,” is set to feature Kyle and Cartman clashing over a new prediction markets app that has captured the attention of their classmates.
“South Park” Season 27 continues its tradition of satirical storytelling, accompanied by the unpredictability often resulting from the real-time events they aim to parody. Initially planned for weekly releases, the season’s schedule has shifted to a bi-weekly format to accommodate the rapid development of news events, such as those involving Donald Trump.
The current season of “South Park” comprises 10 episodes, with the remaining installments scheduled to air through December 10. Viewers can catch these episodes on Comedy Central or stream them the following day on Paramount+. While episode 2 was pulled from re-airing due to its portrayal of a political figure, it remains accessible via Paramount+, which has exclusively hosted the entire “South Park” collection since August 2025.
For fans eager to tune in, episode 5 will air tonight at 10 p.m. Arizona time on Comedy Central. As “South Park” continues to tackle contemporary issues through humor and satire, it remains a prominent fixture in television, engaging audiences with its bold, irreverent approach.
