Season 25 of South Park has come and gone as quickly as a visit from Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo. (Flush?) The most recent Season of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s animated show had only six episodes, making it the second-shortest Season in the show’s history.
Regular-length episodes don’t seem to be coming out as often as they used to, but fans don’t need to throw a fit like Cartman because there will be plenty more.
Yes, season 26 of South Park is coming, along with four more seasons and 14 specials/TV movies that will take the Comedy Central show to 2027. It’s important to note that we’ll probably get to see at least one of these specials before the show returns to its usual format of short episodes.
So, what’s going on with season 26? How will we get it, and how many episodes will it have? Here’s what you need to know before it comes out.
South Park Season 26 Release Date: When Will It Air
At the moment, there is no official date for the release. And it’s annoying that it’s hard to know when it will happen. The new seasons of South Park used to come out at the same time every year, but the extra-long specials and TV movies have thrown off the schedule.
Season 24 started in September 2020, but it was only made up of four specials: The Pandemic Special, South ParQ Vaccination Special, South Park: Post Covid, and South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid. Season 25 didn’t come out until February 2022 because these specials came out at different times, and there was some global pandemic.
It doesn’t seem likely that we’ll have to wait a whole year for more South Park, especially if they’re already working on a new special. Keeping this in mind, it seems likely that season 26 will start in some way before the end of 2022.

Is Season 25 Finished
Yes, is the short answer. The new streaming home for South Park worldwide, Paramount+, only bought six episodes for season 25. Considering that a typical season has 10 episodes, that’s a disappointingly short run.

This indicates that the following few specials or TV movies will be part of season 26, not season 25.
South Park Season 25 Rating
On average, 634,000 people aged 18–49 watch the 25th Season of South Park, which has a 0.31 rating in that age group. Compared to season 24, this is down 33% in the demo and 22% in live+same-day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM).
Even though these numbers don’t include delayed or streaming viewing, they are an excellent indicator of how well a show is doing, especially compared to other shows on the same channel. Other economic factors may affect a show’s fate, but generally, the shows with the highest ratings are kept on, and the ones with the lowest ratings are canceled.

South Park Season 26 Episodes: How Many Will There Be
If season 26 is made up of only specials, like season 24, there is a good chance that the show will end soon.
But we can’t say we’re getting ripped off since some of these specials and TV movies are three times as long as regular episodes.

On the other hand, since the last Season was so short, season 26 will likely have both regular episodes and specials, making it one of the longest runs in years.

If season 26 is going to have more extra-long episodes, we might get previews for each one instead.
On the other hand, we could see several creative ads. For season 25, South Park put together a 30-piece orchestra to play some of the show’s most famous songs, like the theme song, “Chocolate Salty Balls,” and “Kyle’s Mom’s a Bitch.”
We would love to see more of that.
