The iconic animated series South Park has returned with a bang, delivering its signature brand of irreverent humour in a new season that has already broken viewership records. The season premiere, which aired this week, featured a scathing parody of former US President Donald Trump, drawing both laughter and controversy.
Record-Breaking Premiere
According to early ratings, the season opener attracted the highest number of viewers in the show's 26-year history. Fans flocked to Comedy Central to see creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone take on current events with their trademark wit.
Trump in the Crosshairs
The episode, titled 'The End of Democracy?', depicted Trump in a fictionalised courtroom drama, mocking his legal troubles and political ambitions. The portrayal has sparked debate, with some praising its bold satire and others criticising it as overly partisan.
A Legacy of Provocation
Since its debut in 1997, South Park has never shied away from controversial topics. This season promises to continue that tradition, with teasers hinting at upcoming episodes tackling everything from AI to celebrity culture.
With its mix of sharp social commentary and crude humour, the show remains a cultural touchstone, proving that even after 26 years, it can still push boundaries and break records.
