The prolonged animated series South Park takes a short break to the fiery season 27 premiere on July 23. Comedy Central confirmed that episode 2 will now appear at 22:00 on Wednesday (August 6), with an encore of the premiere episode that appears in its place this week. Streaming details fans can stream the new episode the next day, August 7, on paramount+ at 06:00 et / 3 o’clock pt. The program is also available directly via platforms such as Philo, Fubotv, Sling TV, Directv, Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV. Previous seasons can be streamed on HBO Max and Hulu. Controversion on Trump portrayal The alleged delay follows the setback over the season opener, with an extremely challenging portrayal of Donald Trump, including a scene where a naked, ai-generated Trump gets into bed with Satan. The episode also referred to Paramount’s $ 16 million settlement with Trump. The White House answered sharply and called the episode a ‘desperate attempt at attention’ and the series marked a ‘fourth-rate’ production. No Letup in Deletion 2 According to a teaser placed on the official YouTube page of the program, the upcoming episode will continue to lamp Trump, including scenes where Trump flirts with Satan. Production challenges and the operation of the industry The 27th season of the show itself had a two-week delay due to complications linked to the merger of paramount-shyance, which was approved after the premiere. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have reportedly signed a $ 1.5 billion stream with paramount before the new season.
