Get ready for a wild ride, because South Park is back after a three-week break, and this time, Cartman is taking on the Antichrist himself! But here's where it gets even more outrageous—we might finally meet the offspring of Satan and Donald Trump. Yes, you read that right.
After a brief hiatus that left fans eagerly awaiting more of its signature chaos, South Park returns this Wednesday on Comedy Central and Paramount+. The new episode, titled Twisted Christian, promises to dive headfirst into the show’s trademark blend of absurdity and satire. In it, Eric Cartman becomes possessed, and—brace yourselves—he might be the only one who can stop the Antichrist. A teaser clip released Wednesday hints at a bizarre cult involving the numbers six and seven, with Cartman, Butters, Tweak, and others chanting them with eerie enthusiasm. But what does it all mean? And how does it tie into the larger, increasingly tangled plot?
Let’s rewind a bit. For those who need a refresher, the show’s dual storylines—set in the quaint Colorado town of South Park and the political chaos of Washington, D.C.—have been colliding in spectacular fashion. Satan and Donald Trump’s secret relationship has been exposed, and yes, Satan is pregnant with the Antichrist, due any day now. This season has masterfully woven together these threads, from Trump’s fictional lawsuit to bankrupt the town to the scandalous PSA that followed. And remember the September 3rd episode? The girls of South Park, with Butters’ help, summoned a demon using a cursed Labubu, only to have Satan and Trump emerge from the portal to hell. Talk about a family reunion!
But here’s the part most people miss: while the following episode took a detour to tackle the Israel-Gaza conflict and Kyle’s mom (Cartman’s favorite muse), it didn’t advance the main storyline—except for Trump’s hilarious attempts to terminate his unborn child to save his Mar-a-Lago nights. Is this a commentary on political irresponsibility, or just pure comedic gold? You decide.
Wednesday’s episode marks the sixth installment of the 27th season, which has been breaking ratings records since its debut. Since 1997, South Park has fearlessly skewered celebrities, politicians, and anyone else in its crosshairs with its razor-sharp satire. Upcoming episodes are set to air on October 29, November 12, November 26, and December 10, so mark your calendars. And don’t worry—new episodes will be available to stream on Paramount+ and on-demand post-premiere.
But here’s the real question: Is Cartman’s possession a metaphor for societal corruption, or just another excuse for Matt and Trey to push the boundaries of comedy? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this is one debate you won’t want to miss!
