Why There’s No South Park 28 Episode This Week on November 5

Fans of South Park were surprised this week when a new episode didn’t appear on Wednesday, November 5th. The show typically releases new episodes every Wednesday at 10 p.m. Eastern Time.

The show is now releasing new episodes every two weeks instead of weekly. This means fans will get a new episode less often than before.

Why South Park won’t release a new episode on November 5

South Park is changing its release schedule! Instead of new episodes every Wednesday, they’ll now be coming out every other week. The next episode, Season 28 Episode 3, will premiere on Wednesday, November 12th, so be sure to note the date.

The shift to a slower release schedule began in Season 27, with episodes airing every other Wednesday. Recent streaming information confirms this pattern will continue into Season 28.

Fans expected a new episode of South Park last Wednesday, but it didn’t air as scheduled. Instead, Comedy Central surprised everyone with a special Halloween episode called “The Woman in the Hat,” which premiered on Friday, October 31st, at 10 p.m.

The latest episode of South Park began with Stan’s family having to move into his grandfather’s nursing home when Randy lost his job due to the government shutdown. Annoyed with how wild his town has become, Stan then started an online campaign called “South Park Sucks Now.”

The new release schedule is noteworthy for South Park, considering how quickly the show is made. Most animated shows take months, or even a year, to produce a single episode. But South Park has always been known for its incredibly fast turnaround, writing, animating, and editing episodes in record time to meet its deadlines.

Following the special episode on Friday, South Park will resume its regular schedule. New episodes will premiere on Comedy Central on November 12th, November 26th, and December 10th. If you can’t watch them live, they’ll be available on Paramount+ and other streaming services the following day.
