South Park's Trolling Trump With a Season 29 Name Switch
Trey Parker and Matt Stone just said they're renaming the show — and yeah, it's a setup.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone pulled the ultimate fake-out this week, announcing that South Park is ditching its name for Season 29 and going full South America instead. Obvious move? Absolutely. But that's kind of the point.
The duo has never been shy about taking shots at whoever's in power, and this rebrand is a direct jab at the current political moment. It's peak South Park—the kind of blunt, no-subtlety move that's been their wheelhouse for nearly 30 years. Whether it sticks or it's just the season premiere's whole bit remains to be seen, but either way, you know what they're doing here.
The show's DNA has always been in-the-room satire that doesn't wait for permission. This one's no different. Love it or hate the bit, South Park is still swinging.
