Few shows are as unpredictable as South Park, and while season 27 is confirmed the only certainty is that it’s impossible to guess what’s in store when Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman return. Thanks to its infamously quick production schedule and turnaround time, even creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone likely don’t know what’s coming when the next season of South Park arrives on Comedy Central (though they’ve likely got a few ideas).

Since its debut in 1997, South Park has gained notoriety for its biting satire and controversial jokes, with several episodes causing international uproar and multiple episodes of South Park banned from streaming. The last season of South Park, season 26, was no exception, with Parker and Stone lambasting everything from Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine to Chat GPT and MAGA. South Park season 27 is guaranteed to follow suit and deliver an onslaught of real-world parodies guaranteed to shock viewers.

South Park Season 27 Cast

Matt Stone & Trey Parker Will Return

Unlike its content, the cast of South Park season 27 is easy to predict. Since its 1997 premiere, the characters of South Park have mostly been portrayed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker themselves, and this is highly unlikely to change for season 27. Among the characters voiced by Stone are Kyle, Kenny, Butters, and Tweak. Trey Parker voices Stan, Cartman, Randy Marsh, Mr Garrison, and South Park’s infamous depiction of Satan, among others.

There’s been no word yet on what the episode plots of South Park season 27 will be. Likely, it hasn’t even been decided yet by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. South Park episodes aren’t planned months in advance, with some even being written and created around a week from broadcast (which is how the satire in South Park’s humor manages to follow real-world events so closely). However, there are also multiple South Park movies in development for Paramount+. If any of these arrive before South Park season 27 they may tease some overarching plot elements for when the show returns.
