South Park Season 27 Section 4 has not been sent again this week and it is now the third in a series of ongoing delays. After its controversial premiere, both episodes 2 and 3 have had two weeks of holes between them, with section 4 that is now following (you can expect to see it on September 3 instead).
Paramount has now confirmed that this schedule will continue throughout the duration of the 10-episod season, which means we can now expect the (certainly explosive) season finale on November 26.
Originally, the study had not given a reason, or at least it did not have public. With influential numbers in the US government’s blasting South Park‘s parodies on an almost daily basis, I had already guessed that this could give birth, which is why episodes took longer, especially considering the Paramount+ exclusive post-credit scenes we are starting to see.
President Trump has been naked in bed with the devil, US secretary of Homeland Security Christ’s Noem has shot puppies in Point Blank Range, and Howlie’s trip to Washington DC shone a ramp light on the city’s national guard implementation.
But in front South Park Season 27 Section 4 we finally have an explanation – and as it turns out, there are several reasons why we see a delay in the launches.
Not only does it feel like a smart move, I also think it’s a huge positive. The creators show no signs of slowing down their scary political parodies so that some respiratory spaces between them could make us the whole world of good.
“So much is happening right now in just a day with Trump”
According to an interview with Deadline, season 27 started delays originally with Timing Episode 2 to release in accordance with the show’s 25 -year anniversary. Afterwards, there was still a two-week schedule to ensure that episodes were completely up to date with real events.
Deadline’s source close to South Park Manufacturers explained: “What they are doing means that this year’s episodes need more time than usual to put together to finish.
“So much is happening right now in just a day with Trump. No one will sacrifice to get it right, even if we have to push to get it to the air, and if it does the season anymore, please.”
In short, it means that everything takes more time to do, which is not surprising in a world with a news cycle moving at cracking speed.
What may be more surprising is that Paramount is just fine with the changes. “We won’t argue with what works,” an insider added in the studio. “The numbers are big, the show gets a lot of attention-if they want to give us a 20-week season for 10-episodes, it’s ok.”
Deadline reported earlier that the second episode of season 27 drew 6.2 million global multi-platform viewers across Comedy Central and Paramount+ in the first three days, numbers that came largely from streaming. Obviously, taking more time works for everyone, and perhaps this creators allows you to cut even deeper with their political parody.
Could this change how comedies or any streambar series will be released in the future? Much possibly. But so far, there is some relief that comes with the empty space between the animated pounds.
With Florida Congress Woman Anna Paulina Luna now the latest to clap back on her South Park Depiction, the new schedule is likely to cool down all political jets before something becomes rooted than the tensions and legal threats we saw through its two-year hiatus.
