Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s South Park Season 27 returns this week with Episode 7 after a two-week hiatus.
After a pair of three-week breaks between the last two episodes, South Park returns to its regular schedule this week, where Parker and Stone will release new episodes every other week. Unlike past seasons, Season 27 has a season-long theme, which in short is concentrating on the skewering of President Donald Trump, his polices and his MAGA supporters.
South Park’s creators, per usual, have woven in topical subplots throughout the episodes this season, involving, among other things, Immigration Customs Enforcement raids, the tech bro culture, the Labubu doll craze, prediction market betting and the freedom of speech controversy spurred by Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from his talk show.
The bulk of the season, however, has been about the Trump and Satan’s relationship and the pending birth of their baby, aka the Antichrist.
South Park Season 27, Episode 7 will first air on Comedy Central on cable and satellite on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. After that, the episode will make its streaming debut on Paramount+ on Thursday, Oct. 30, at 6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT.
‘South Park’ Episode 7 Promises More Of Donald Trump, Satan And Possessed Cartman Storyline
Comedy Central’s South Park feed on X has been inconsistent this season when it comes to dropping teasers and video promotions of upcoming episodes, with some of them being released on Tuesdays and others on Wednesdays. This week, though, the South Park X account posted a video promo in an X post on Monday.
Essentially, the 30-second promo clip for Episode 7 — which doesn’t yet have a name — indicates that it is going to be a continuation of the events of Episode 6, which was titled Twisted Christian. There’s no new footage in it and mainly it’s a highlight reel of the principal players and plotlines of the last episode, including President Donald Trump, Satan, the possessed Cartman, Vice President JD Vance and billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel.
In Episode 6, Thiel is called into South Park Elementary by PC (Power Christian) Principal to lecture students about the “Satanic numbers” 6 and 7, which, of course, is based on the viral internet meme. Also in Episode 7, Thiel tried to perform an exorcism on Cartman — which didn’t work — and is convinced by his efforts that Cartman is the only person who can stop the birth of the Antichrist.
In addition, there were several 6-7 references throughout Episode 6, so it only makes sense that the madness is seemingly constructed to continue in Episode 7 (Episodes 6 and 7, get it?).
No matter what cliffhanger Trey Parker and Matt Stone devise for South Park Season 27, Episode 7, viewers will have to wait two more weeks for some answers when Episode 8 is released on Nov. 12 on Comedy Central and Nov. 13 on Paramount+.
