South Park: Two New Specials Coming Ahead of S25 Premiere

As South Park returns for season 25 tonight, Paramount+ reveals its plans to put out much more content for the iconic series this year.

During Paramount+’s Television Critics’ Association presentation, South Park was confirmed to get two more specials later this year following its pandemic specials of 2021.

Last August, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a deal with Viacom CBS, which included six more seasons on Comedy Central, with 14 movies/hour-long specials on Paramount+.

The TCAs announcement signifies that, following the two new specials for 2022, Paramount+ has ten more hour-long specials in the deal that it can churn out two each year until 2027.

The first two of its specials, South Park: Post Covid and South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid, are currently available for streaming exclusively on Paramount+.

When asked about the release schedule for the specials, the network’s Chief Programming Officer Tanya Giles spoke,

Not necessarily always at the end of the year and not necessarily two-part events. We’re keeping those options, and like we said we’re incredibly flexible in terms of bringing those stories to paramount plus, but there will be two this year.

Giles added that these specials are flexible, and while they won’t exactly be feature-length movies, they also won’t necessarily be hour-long specials.

Ahead of the season premiere, South Park Studios released a short promo clip for episode 1, “Pajama Day,” that shows PC Principal banning the 4th grade class from Pajama Day for disrespecting their teacher.
