South Park Day Rewards Fans By Breaking Comedy Central’s Release Schedule

No new episode of South Park tonight? Weak. A huge South Park marathon? Kick ass! Comedy Central announced Wednesday that the third season 27 episode will now air on August 20, the second time the new season has gone bi-weekly since the viral “Sermon on the ‘Mount” season premiere in July. But fans can still go on down to South Park and have themselves a time in the usual slot, because Comedy Central are rewarding fans in another way.

The channel is airing an all-day South Park marathon marking the anniversary of the show’s first-ever episode, “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe,” first aired on Aug. 13, 1997. The South Park Day marathon comes after the season 27 premiere was the No. 1 telecast across all cable when the show returned with regular episodes on July 23, which was the biggest season premiere share on Comedy Central since 1999. “Sermon on the ‘Mount” was also South Park‘s most social episode in the show’s 27-season run.

Fans without cable can still watch South Park for free on the official website — which offers a selection of iconic episodes like “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe,” “Casa Bonita,” “AWESOM-O,” and “Scott Tenorman Must Die” — or stream all 27 seasons anytime on Paramount+. Otherwise, stock up on Cheesy Poofs, settle in with a pot pie, and tune into the South Park marathon, which runs until midnight on Aug. 13.
