What is the release date for South Park season 28 episode 5 on Paramount+?

What a time it's been for South Park this year. From unexpected delays that became the staple of its schedule (that's why you've been waiting two weeks for a new episode) to backlash from the US government, it's been a wild ride from start to finish.

So far, Trump has kept Satan as a personal prisoner in his bedroom, demolished the East wing of The White House, and been followed around by a tiny version of Vice President JD Vance. And who could forget US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem shooting dogs in the head?

I've got a funny feeling that South Park season 28 episode 5 is going to be the pièce de résistance, but when will it stream on Paramount+?

What time can I watch South Park season 28 episode 5 on Paramount+?

South Park season 28 episode 5 is first shown on Comedy Central on December 10 at 7pm PST / 10pm ET for those watching in the US.

But on Paramount+, the schedule looks slightly different. Episodes of South Park drop internationally on the streamer at the same time the following day (December 11).

You can take a look at the release schedule below for your local time:

• US – 7pm PST / 10pm EST
• Canada – 7pm PST / 10pm EST
• UK – 3am GMT
• India – 8:30am IST
• Singapore – 11am SGT
• Australia – 2pm AEDT
• New Zealand – 4pm NZDT

Seasons 27-28 are already on Paramount+, in case you need to brush up on your oil business knowledge. Not signed up? Why not take advantage of a free trial:

Paramount+: 7-day free trial

Every month, a new batch of content is added to Paramount+, giving subscribers plenty of options to peruse, and you can have a sneak peek for yourself thanks to the Paramount+ free trial offer. The service has more than 30,000 movies and shows, though, so don't expect to get through it all.

When do new episodes of South Park season 28 come out?

Pending any last-minute changes, this week will be the season 28 finale.

I know, it's devastating that the season is nearly over already, but at least we've got two more episodes to enjoy before we wait impatiently for any news about a potential season 29. Time really does go too fast.

The full schedule has looked like this:

• Season 28 episode 1: October 15
• Season 28 episode 2: October 31
• Season 28 episode 3: November 12
• Season 28 episode 4: November 26
• Season 28 episode 5: December 10

The above schedule was confirmed on X, in an older post that reads: "A note regarding tonight’s previously scheduled episode...."

Fingers crossed the finale airs when it's supposed to... that's the kind of Christmas present we don't need.
