Paramount+ has announced a new South Park special event that is headed to the streamer later this month. South Park: Joining the Panderverse will debut Friday, October 27, in the U.S. and Canada and Saturday, October 28, in the UK and Australia with further international markets to follow.

South Park: Joining the Panderverse follows the first four South Park exclusive events – South Park: Post Covid, South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid, South Park The Streaming Wars and South Park The Streaming Wars Part 2. All four are available to stream on Paramount+.

In South Park: Joining the Panderverse, Cartman’s deeply disturbing dreams portend the end of the life he knows and loves. The adults in South Park are also wrestling with their own life decisions as the advent of AI is turning their world upside down.

Last year, South Park the series celebrated the 25th anniversary of its August 13, 1997 debut on Comedy Central. Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny were first seen in the animated short The Spirit of Christmas, and from there were launched into television history.

Building on MTV Entertainment Studios’ megadeal with co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, South Park has been renewed on Comedy Central through 2027, taking cable’s longest-running scripted series through an unprecedented 30th season.

Parker and Stone executive produce, along with Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II. Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are producers. Christopher Brion is the Creative Director of South Park Digital Studios.

Dude, ever since you mentioned Trey being the one that wrote the last special I can't stop thinking about it... How much say or influence do other writers or people have on eps? How true do you think that is now? Because when I think back on it, the special did have a certain vibe to it like that. It did feel like it hit those classic notes. o-o

Sorry to answer this late, but I consulted the other SPHS members to kinda wrap up the thoughts I had

Basically based on what we've seen in BTS footage (example being Six Days To Air), it's usually Matt, Trey, and a handful of people sitting in the writers room on day one coming up with topical things on their mind and jokes surrounding them. Always M+T but sometimes in there with them there's Kyle McCulloch, Bill Hader, Vernon Chatman, etc. From what it seems, they all help stir up some concepts/find the humor or the satire, and then Trey is the one who plugs them into a narrative. Anne Garefino isn't a writer but is quoted to be an influence on several occasions as to what does and doesn't go into an episode, so I think while the writers room holds importance, it's not the end-all be-all of the show. As far as I'm aware only Trey is the one who actually sits down and writes it all into an actual script on his own while the animation team/voice actors work in tandem and Matt encourages him/gives him feedback and ideas/keeps him on essentially suicide watch.

(Also, based on April Stewart's newest post, they don't let her seen anything beyond the lines she specifically needs to voice/scenes she's in, which is either a purposeful choice to MCU her, or because they only give her what they need because the plot is always evolving and it may not be as relevant for her to know since it will likely change.)

As pointed out by one of the SPHS members, on the commentary tracks (rip I miss you), Matt usually isn't the one to bring up the narrative points/characters/plot/setting when he's speaking. He usually is very drawn to talk about the topic of the episode and why they came about (usually they were pissed off about something), while Trey will be focused more on the narrative plot and details and the characters and how they feel. Since Matt isn't the one actively writing the scripts this makes sense; he seems to often be the one with a strong idea of what they're targeting for the episode. I often joke I can tell when an episode is "Matt-centric" and that he contributed a LOT in the writers room. But still, Trey is the one putting it together.

Ultimately, I think the core of SP has always been the quote "South Park is what makes us both laugh". I think the writers room is just a way for them to figure out what's funny and then Trey goes from there. There's less plot development coming out of them and moreso the making of each other laugh to create a jumping off point with a topic in hand. BASICALLY, TLDR, I have no idea if they did or did not have writers in the room for the recent special due to the strikes influence, but M+T are more than capable of filling that role alone since it's mostly just for the joke planning phase, and they already know how to make each other laugh

Squidbillies #39: “Mud Days and Cornfused” | June 2, 2008 - 12:15AM | S03E19

The world of Squidbillies is pretty small. If you started listing features that define the world of Squidbillies, you’d probably hit a wall pretty quick. That’s not to slam the show at all. It’s just an observation. Anyway, here’s an episode about a festival that celebrates mud.

Actually, it’s mostly about Dan Halen using genetically modified corn to overrun Dougal County and destroy life as the simple squids know it. First he unleashes a giant (but simplistic) corn maze on them. Then he lets Shucky loose, the mascot for the cornpocalypse. He’s voiced by Clarence Towelstein. He sounds like Vernon Chatman, which is weird, because he voices a character named Clarence on Wonder Showzen, as well as a character named Towelie on South Park. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. 

This episode is maybe a tad on the weaker side. It feels a little listless at first; really does feel like it’s just gonna be a series of gags at a bad carnival. Then the corn monsters show up. Eh. It’s all fine. I wouldn’t send it to space with the works of Mozart.

The best bit is in Dan Halen’s office, where Sheriff thinks Halen is doing this to produce ethanol, a much more practical plan to get rich than what he’s actually doing (producing Korn Doggz, a chintzy-looking dog doll made of corn husks). This episode features the one instance I can think of where Dan Halen is brutalized on screen’ he’s torn in half by his monster. Lucky!

Oh yeah, I'll mention this here, because I failed to notice it last time. This episode features a lotta crowd shots. In, I believe, the previous episode of Squidbillies, there's a crowd shot where you can spot Brak's dad! I missed it myself, Kon pointed it out to me later. Here's a cap! Thank you Kon. He might be in this episode, too. I didn't look that hard, though.

Original releaseNetworkComedy Central[nb 1]ReleaseAugust 13, 1997 – presentRelatedThe Spirit of Christmas

South Park is an American animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and developed by Brian Graden for Comedy Central. The series revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick—and their exploits in and around the titular Colorado town. South Park also features many recurring characters. The series became infamous for its profanity and dark, surreal humor that satirizes a large range of subject matter.

Parker and Stone developed South Park from two animated short films, both titled The Spirit of Christmas, released in 1992 and 1995. The second short became one of the first Internet viral videos, leading to the series' production. The pilot episode was produced using cutout animation; the remainder of the series uses computer animation recalling the prior technique. Since the fourth season, episodes are generally written and produced during the week preceding its broadcast, with Parker serving as the lead writer and director.

Since its debut on August 13, 1997, 328 episodes of South Park have been broadcast. It debuted with great success, consistently earning the highest ratings of any basic cable program. Subsequent ratings have varied, but it remains one of Comedy Central's longest-running programs. In August 2021, South Park was renewed through 2027, and a series of television specials was announced for Paramount+, the first two of which were released later that year.[2][3] In October 2019, it was announced that WarnerMedia acquired exclusive streaming rights to South Park starting in June 2020 for HBO Max.[4] The series' twenty-sixth season premiered on February 8, 2023.[5]

South Park has received critical acclaim, and is included in various publications' lists of the greatest television shows. It has received numerous accolades, including five Primetime Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award. A theatrical film, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, was released in June 1999 to commercial and critical success, garnering an Academy Award nomination. In 2013, TV Guide ranked South Park the tenth Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time.[6]

A brand new “South Park” special has dropped on Paramount+ on Wednesday and is now available to stream in the U.S. and Canada.

“South Park: Not Suitable for Children” spoofs OnlyFans, the popular adult content creation platform. In the new trailer, Mr. Skinner bursts into his classroom and exclaims they have a problem. The parents of South Park then assemble for a meeting. They shout out, “We’re talking about someone who influences our children!” and “This isn’t just softcore porn we’re talking about here!”

The official logline reads, “After it’s discovered that a teacher at South Park Elementary has an OnlyFans page, Randy is compelled to take a closer look at the seedy underbelly of the world of on-line influencers.”

This marks the sixth “South Park” special to stream on Paramount+, following “South Park: Post Covid,” “South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid,” “South Park: The Streaming Wars,” “South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2” and “South Park: Joining the Panderverse.”

“South Park: Not Suitable for Children” will be available on Paramount+ internationally on Dec. 21 in the U.K., Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy on Dec. 23, with other international markets to follow. 

“South Park” co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are executive producers, along with Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II. Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are producers. Christopher Brion is the creative director of South Park Digital Studios. Building on MTV Entertainment Studios’ expansive deal with Stone and Parker, “South Park” has been renewed on Comedy Central through 2027, taking cable’s longest-running scripted series through a Season 30.
