South Park season 28 release schedule: How to watch new episodes in the UK
New season, same madness – here's when to expect the next chapter.
South Park season 28 is in full swing, and the latest instalment continued this season's political themes with an episode tackling Thanksgiving.
The episode, titled Turkey Trot, took aim at Saudi Arabian sponsorship, as well as United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone recently confirmed that the show's shift towards political satire this season was not planned, but that “politics became pop culture”.
Speaking to The New York Times, Parker said: "We’re just very down-the-middle guys. Any extremists of any kind, we make fun of. We did it for years with the woke thing. That was hilarious to us. And this is hilarious to us."
