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.
Surprise! South Park’s chaotic release schedule shows no sign of settling, with two episodes of season 28 now having aired – and fans eagerly waiting for episode 3.
After a run of delays and unexpected drops impacted the (recently concluded) season 27, the latest batch of episodes has kept viewers guessing once again. With Trey Parker and Matt Stone at the helm, expectations are high for what comes next, as the duo continue to mix sharp political satire with the show’s trademark absurdity.
Little is known about episode 3 so far, but given the unpredictable direction of season 28 so far, fans can expect another topical and boundary-pushing instalment when South Park returns.
