South Park Rebrands to "South America" in Bold Trump Satire!
Get ready for a new season! Animated hit South Park is controversially renaming itself "South America" as a sharp, satirical jab at Donald Trump's past naming whims. Don't miss the 29th season!
America's most notoriously irreverent animated series, South Park, is set to undergo a significant, and characteristically satirical, name change for its upcoming 29th season. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have announced that the show will now be known as "South America," a move that serves as a thinly veiled, yet biting, commentary on former US President Donald Trump's past declarations regarding geographical names.
The announcement, which included a photo of the iconic South Park sign with "America" scrawled over the original name, directly references Trump's previous desire to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" and the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." He had reportedly even signed an executive order to that effect for Lake Ontario in August. The show's creators humorously stated their inspiration came from the "bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google," adding another layer of satire to the announcement.
Parker and Stone, known for their quick wit and ability to lampoon current events, continue to push boundaries, ensuring that South Park remains relevant in the ever-changing political and social landscape. Their statement also extended thanks to their parent company, Paramount Skydance, following the approval of its $111 billion merger with Warner Bros in June.
The 29th season of the award-winning series is slated to premiere on Wednesday, September 16, at 10 pm ET/PT on Comedy Central. For international viewers and those who prefer streaming, new episodes will be available on Paramount+ around the world, with next-day access in the US, Canada, and Australia. Fans can anticipate another season of the four foul-mouthed boys from Colorado tackling contemporary issues with their signature brand of humor.
