South Park season 27 release schedule: How to watch new episodes in the UK

Let me save you some time: No, there's no new episode of South Park this week. But don't be alarmed!

The 27th season of the animated series might well be ruffling feathers, but it hasn't been pulled off air in response to any of its controversial gags and commentary.

Instead, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with their wider team, are simply taking extra time to consider how best to satirise an increasingly strange and unpredictable world.

Hopefully, this means we have some hilarious moments to look forward to, but in the short term, we're all going to have to be patient as they rustle up their next wonderfully warped instalment.

If you're intrigued to see what madness awaits, read on for details on when the next episode of South Park season 27 will drop, and the full release schedule for the latest run.

Or, if you're feeling nostalgic, check out our verdict on the best South Park episodes of all time.

When is South Park season 27 episode 6 released?

South Park season 27 episode 6 will air at 10pm on Thursday 16th October 2025 on Comedy Central UK – only one day later than the US premiere.

Alternatively, South Park season 27 episodes head straight to Paramount+ shortly after their television broadcast, for those who'd rather stream at their own pace.

There are now three weeks separating episodes 5 and 6, after the former suffered a week-long delay announced on the day that it had initially been due to premiere.

Here's hoping that the long-running series can rediscover its regular rhythm again in the weeks to come.

How many episodes are in South Park season 27?

South Park season 27 will consist of 10 episodes in total.

This makes it the longest run since season 23, which aired back in 2019.

Where can you watch previous seasons of South Park?

The extensive South Park back catalogue is available to stream in its entirety on Paramount Plus, which you can also get as an added channel through Prime Video.

Earlier in July, all 316 episodes had briefly been removed from the streaming platform everywhere except the US due to a licensing issue – but fortunately a compromise was reached and they were later restored to the platform. Plenty to dip into, then!
