Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s South Park is nearing the end of its 28th Season, which has squarely focused on President Donald Trump.

South Park returned on July 23 to Comedy Central, following a two-week delay as Skydance Media and Paramount Global hammered out their blockbuster merger deal. On the day South Park Season 27 premiered, a five-year, $1.5 billion deal was struck for Parker and Stone to produce 50 episodes over the next five years for Comedy Central to stream on Paramount+.

In addition, South Park’s 26-season library of the adult animated comedy moved from HBO Max — where it streamed for the last five years — to the Paramount Global platform.

For the most part, new episodes for South Park Seasons 27 and 28 — which consist of five episodes each — have premiered on Comedy Central on Wednesdays and moved to streaming on Paramount+ on Thursdays, with a two-week break between each new episode.

As such, the South Park Season 28 finale is set to air on cable’s Comedy Central on Wednesday, Dec. 10, at 10 p.m. ET/PT and will begin streaming on Paramount+ on Thursday, Dec. 11, beginning at 6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT.

The Season 28 Finale Will No Doubt Be Political

South Park, which has always been an equal opportunity offender, this year has been taking aim at President Donald Trump, his administration, his policies and his MAGA supporters.

In an interview with the New York Times (via The Hollywood Reporter), in November, Trey Parker said of Season 27 and Season 28’s heavy political focus, “It’s not that we got all political. It’s that politics became pop culture.”

Oddly enough, Parker added that he and co-creator Matt Stone only intended to lampoon Trump in the first episode of Season 27, but as controversial current events surrounding the president unfolded, so did the commander-in-chief’s storyline.

“We’re just very down-the-middle guys,” Parker told the New York Times. “Any extremists of any kind, we make fun of. We did it for years with the woke thing. That was hilarious to us. And this is hilarious to us.”

Oddly enough, Trump was only featured briefly in South Park’s last episode on Nov. 26, the Thanksgiving-themed Turkey Trot. Instead, Parker and Stone poked big fun at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was sent to South Park to secure the release of billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel from the town’s jail.

Since the premiere of the five-episode Season 28, Thiel has been working with Vice President JD Vance to get the demonically possessed Cartman to Washington, D.C., to prevent the birth of Trump and Satan’s baby, aka the Antichrist.

Whether or not that plan will be successful will be answered with the South Park Season 28 finale, which premieres on cable on Comedy Central on Dec. 10 before streaming on Paramount+ on Dec. 11.

Highlights: US prosecutors requested a 12-year prison sentence for Do Kwon after the Terra collapse. Terraform’s $40 billion downfall caused huge losses and sparked a long downturn in crypto markets. Do Kwon will face sentencing on December 11 and must give up $19 million in earnings. US prosecutors have asked a judge to give Do Kwon, Terraform Labs co-founder, a 12-year prison sentence for his role in the remarkable $40 billion collapse of the Terra and Luna tokens. The request also seeks to finalize taking away Kwon’s criminal earnings. The court filing came in New York’s Southern District on Thursday. This is about four months after Kwon admitted guilt on two charges: wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud. Prosecutors said Kwon caused more losses than Samuel Bankman-Fried, Alexander Mashinsky, and Karl Sebastian Greenwood combined. U.S. prosecutors have asked a New York federal judge to sentence Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon to 12 years in prison, calling his role in the 2022 TerraUSD collapse a “colossal” fraud that triggered broader crypto-market failures, including the downfall of FTX. Sentencing is… — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) December 5, 2025 Terraform Collapse Shakes Crypto Market Authorities explained that Terraform’s collapse affected the entire crypto market. They said it helped trigger what is now called the ‘Crypto Winter.’ The filing stressed that Kwon’s conduct harmed many investors and the broader crypto world. On Thursday, prosecutors said Kwon must give up just over $19 million. They added that they will not ask for any additional restitution. They said: “The cost and time associated with calculating each investor-victim’s loss, determining whether the victim has already been compensated through the pending bankruptcy, and then paying out a percentage of the victim’s losses, will delay payment and diminish the amount of money ultimately paid to victims.” Authorities will sentence Do Kwon on December 11. They charged him in March 2023 with multiple crimes, including securities fraud, market manipulation, money laundering, and wire fraud. All connections are tied to his role at Terraform. After Terra fell in 2022, authorities lost track of Kwon until they arrested him in Montenegro on unrelated charges and sent him to the U.S. Do Kwon’s Legal Case and Sentencing In April last year, a jury ruled that both Terraform and Kwon committed civil fraud. They found the company and its co-founder misled investors about how the business operated and its finances. Jay Clayton, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, submitted the sentencing request in November. TERRA STATEMENT: “We are very disappointed with the verdict, which we do not believe is supported by the evidence. We continue to maintain that the SEC does not have the legal authority to bring this case at all, and we are carefully weighing our options and next steps.” — Zack Guzmán (@zGuz) April 5, 2024 The news of Kwon’s sentencing caused Terraform’s token, LUNA, to jump over 40% in one day, from $0.07 to $0.10. Still, this rise remains small compared to its all-time high of more than $19, which the ecosystem reached before collapsing in May 2022. In a November court filing, Do Kwon’s lawyers asked for a maximum five-year sentence. They argued for a shorter term partly because he could face up to 40 years in prison in South Korea, where prosecutors are also pursuing a case against him. The legal team added that even if Kwon serves time in the U.S., he would not be released freely. He would be moved from prison to an immigration detention center and then sent to Seoul to face pretrial detention for his South Korea charges. eToro Platform Best Crypto Exchange Over 90 top cryptos to trade Regulated by top-tier entities User-friendly trading app 30+ million users 9.9 Visit eToro eToro is a multi-asset investment platform.
