South Park’s new episode, resulting from air tonight, has been rescheduled. The sequence creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, make each episode on the fly and infrequently in response to present occasions. Episodes aren’t accomplished months prematurely like most reveals.
The sequence is often so punctual that a complete documentary referred to as 6 Days To Air was made about it. Within the present’s very lengthy historical past, they’ve solely as soon as beforehand missed a deadline. That point, it was resulting from an influence outage.
Parker and Stone issued the next assertion concerning the episode’s delay: “Apparently while you do all the pieces on the final minute generally you don’t get it finished,” they mentioned. “This one’s on us. We didn’t get it finished in time. Because of Comedy Central and ‘South Park’ followers for being so understanding. Tune in subsequent week!”
That announcement has no actual info, leaving us all to take a position about what’s happening. Since we all know South Park by no means misses deadlines, I feel it’s secure to imagine this has one thing to do with the slaying of Charlie Kirk. Final month, South Park used Cartman to lampoon Kirk, and within the wake of his assassination, the present has been taking warmth.
Comedy Central, the community accountable for the present, has since pulled the episode from availability on its community. It’s unclear whether or not this transfer was accepted by Parker and Stone, who’ve remained silent on the matter.
There may be now appreciable stress on South Park to handle the scenario. It’s attainable the staff was midway by way of making the present episode earlier than they determined they wanted to pivot to just do that. It’s equally attainable the episode had Cartman again doing his Charlie Kirk impression, and after his demise, the duo thought higher of it and at the moment are arduous at work modifying that out.
We’ll discover out when South Park returns, most likely subsequent week.
