\n\tIt\u2019s the last Wednesday in October, one of the most beloved holidays is only days away and the boys of South Park are stepping up to the plate <\/a>with a brand-new episode of their long-running series, which has a long tradition of spooky-season installments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe\u2019re not ones to get our hopes up for a fresh South Park<\/a> Halloween episode, but doesn\u2019t it seem like the perfect addition to the buildup to Oct. 31 this year? Still, there\u2019s no guarantee here and the logline for Season 29, Episode 4 doesn\u2019t quite scream \u201cHalloween episode.\u201d It does let the mind run wild about what\u2019s going on in our favorite white-bread, redneck mountain town, recently rebranded as South America.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a pre-show press release sent to The Hollywood Reporter by Comedy Central<\/a> on Tuesday, the Oct. 28 episode, \u201cGuinea Pig on a Stick,\u201d follows what happens \u201cwhen South America\u2019s beef becomes highly prized and sought after\u201d and the four boys \u201cfight to keep it in local hands.\u201d Clearly, there\u2019s room for some Halloween cheer in such a premise. Or maybe just some clever wordplay and lewd humor.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeculation aside, it will be yet another Season 29 episode <\/a>that seems to center on events in the titular town. That carries on what we can probably now say is a definite theme of what is shaping up to a return-to-form season, which has jettisoned the political satire that defined last year\u2019s 10 episodes in favor of local news and a renewed focus on the lives of Stan, Kyle, Eric and now a kid-size Randy, who appears to be replacing Kenny in the show\u2019s quartet. At least that\u2019s what the press image above implies, with Kid Randy looking even more youthful after his new skincare regimen.<\/p>\n

\n\tSouth Park, which just took home its latest of six Emmys for outstanding animated program, has seen a resurgence in popularity and relevance as it approaches its 30th anniversary. The Comedy Central mainstay hit new rating highs last year and saw its most-watched season in six years. Season 29\u2019s premiere episode delivered 4.2 million multiplatform viewers across the Paramount+ platform and Comedy Central in its first three days in the U.S., according to a press release from Paramount.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGuinea Pig on a Stick\u201d debuts at 10 p.m. ET on Comedy Central on Wednesday and will be available on multiple streaming platforms on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s the last Wednesday in October, one of the most beloved holidays is only days away and the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":660142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[54166,146,85,46,29542,411],"class_list":["post-660141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-comedy-central","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-south-park","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=660141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/660142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=660141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=660141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=660141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
