  • South Park is taking a short break after its season 27 premiere
  • It has been confirmed that episode 2 will air on August 6
  • The news comes after the long-running comedy reached a streaming rights deal with Paramount+

It’s been confirmed that the second episode of South Park season 27 will air on August 6 after the series skipped a week.

The first episode of the new season aired on July 23, after the show’s future on Paramount+ was secured after months of uncertainty, so some fans were likely anxious when episode 2 didn’t appear a week later.

However, The Hollywood Reporter has noted that "South Park has been known to skip weeks as a new season rolls out week over week".

The news was confirmed via a YouTube video titled 'South Park continues August 6' (see below).

What should we expect from South Park season 27 episode 2?

Based on the above video, it looks like South Park season 27 episode 2 will pick up where episode 1 left off.

The video gives us a peek at what the next episode will feature, which seems to include a recent decision by Paramount Global, the parent company of Paramount+, to pay $16 million (£13.5 million / AU$24.8 million) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump over an interview on CBS, which is also owned by Paramount Global, with former Vice-President Kamala Harris, and depicts Trump and Satan as lovers.

And that’s not the only controversy we can expect in episode 2, as the promo video sees Cartman engaged in a debate about abortion with another student at South Park Elementary and shows Mr Garrison riding in an ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) vehicle with masked and armed ICE officers.

South Park season 27 episode 2 will be available on Paramount+, aka one of the best streaming services, from August 6 for viewers in the US, UK, and Australia.
