\n\tAfter a blockbuster 28th season<\/a>, South Park<\/a> creators Trey Parker<\/a> and Matt Stone<\/a> revealed that the long-running animated series would return for Season 29 in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe duo announced the Sept. 16 premiere date during an appearance Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday. Comedy Central confirmed the news in a press release, revealing that additional episodes would air Sept. 30, Oct. 14, Oct. 28, Nov. 11, and Nov. 25.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn classic South Park fashion, the news was accompanied by a 10-second promo that featured Cartman sitting on a toilet, trying to shit, insisting, \u201cHang on, hang on,\u201d before the release was finally revealed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile previous seasons of South Park have comprised between 10 to 15 episodes, and sometimes more, in recent years, Parker and Stone have whittled the number down to about five or six. Despite this decrease, the show has never been more popular and pointed<\/a>, its famously off-the-cuff production schedule allowing Parker and Stone to respond to, and satirize, the world in nearly real time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFor instance, Season 28 of South Park, which aired last fall, regularly roped in contemporaneous events<\/a>, from ongoing ICE raids<\/a> to Kimmel\u2019s brief suspension<\/a> from ABC following a joke he made about the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk. There was also a season-long storyline involving Donald Trump in a dysfunctional relationship with Satan<\/a>, while they made J.D. Vance into the second coming of Tattoo from Fantasy Island.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Kimmel last night, Parker spoke about the show\u2019s longevity and how much care they still put into it. \u201cWe still do everything ourselves the way that we did,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen we\u2019re doing a new season, it\u2019s like we\u2019re the band going in to make another album. We don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to come out. And after, like, 30 years, a lot of the same people that we\u2019ve done the show with are still there doing it with us. We should have, two years in, hired writers and collected a check, but we still have to go in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a blockbuster 28th season, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone revealed that the long-running animated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":681461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,21636,21300,21635,427],"class_list":["post-681460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-matt-stone","tag-south-park","tag-trey-parker","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/681461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
