‘South Park’ Season 29 Episode 4 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The next episode of ‘South Park’ is scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, two weeks after the third installment aired on October 14. The animated series has settled into a rhythm of new episodes every other Wednesday, and the fourth chapter of the run keeps that pattern in place.
The new run has six episodes, one more than each of the previous two seasons. The show also changed its name to ‘South America’ for the season, which was widely read as a dig at the Trump administration’s attempted renaming of geographical sites. For viewers tracking the latest ‘South Park’ episode, here is what is known about timing, streaming and what to expect.
Release Date for the Fourth Episode
The announced schedule puts the premiere on September 16, the second episode on September 30, the third on October 14 and the fourth on October 28. That makes the next installment the midpoint of a short, tightly spaced run.
Two more episodes follow on November 11 and November 25. The finale lands just ahead of Thanksgiving.
According to South Park Studios, Comedy Central and Paramount+ announced the full run of dates on May 19. The schedule gives fans a clear picture of the entire season well before it began.
Air Time on Comedy Central
The season premiere was set for 10 p.m. ET and PT on Comedy Central. The third episode kept that same 10 p.m. ET slot. Viewers should plan around the same late evening window for the fourth episode.
A guide to the previous season noted that the same slot works out to 7 p.m. PST for viewers on the West Coast. That is useful for anyone who wants to watch live and avoid spoilers on social media.
Coverage of that earlier season explained that the creators wanted more time to prepare episodes, which made the every other week release schedule permanent. The slower pace has become part of how the show now operates.
Where to Watch on Comedy Central and Paramount+
Viewers can watch new episodes on Comedy Central through a television subscription that includes the channel. That remains the first place each episode appears.
New episodes also stream on Paramount+ around the world, with availability the next day in the United States, Canada and Australia. For the fourth episode, that means the streaming release arrives the day after the Comedy Central broadcast.
New subscribers can watch the season during the Paramount+ free trial. That option may appeal to viewers who want to catch up on the earlier episodes before the next one arrives.
Episode Preview and What to Expect
Episode listings currently show the title for the fourth episode as to be announced. The Rotten Tomatoes page for the episode carries only a general description of the series rather than a plot summary. Any detailed preview will likely arrive closer to broadcast.
The earlier episodes offer some hints about the season’s direction. The premiere, ‘South American Biker Gangs,’ centers on the arrival of electric bikes in town, while the second episode takes aim at data centers. That second episode is titled ‘Billionaire Weenietown.’
The third episode, ‘You Like That On Your Face,’ follows Kyle as he tries to help his little brother avoid being cringe when aura battles take over town. The second episode also brought back the satirical Trump deepfake in its closing sequence. The show has paired local, pop culture targets with sharper political jabs.
The premiere beat last season’s opener by double digits among adults 18 to 49 and was the top non sports cable telecast. With that momentum behind it and a habit of seizing on whatever dominates the conversation, which trend or headline do you think the town of ‘South America’ will skewer in the fourth episode?
