Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s South Park Season 28 is back with a Thanksgiving theme for Episode 4. Find out what time the episode begins on cable and streaming.
South Park’s unusually paced Seasons 27 and 28 returned on July 23 on Comedy Central on cable and started featuring new episodes and the previous 26 seasons of the classic adult animated comedy series on Paramount+ the next day.
For the most part, new episodes of South Park Seasons 27 and 28 have premiered every other week on Comedy Central and Paramount+, with a couple of three-week breaks sandwiched in between.
South Park Season 28 heads down its home stretch this week with the release of its Thanksgiving-themed fourth episode, titled Turkey Trot. The logline for the new episode reads, “The town’s annual Turkey Trot turns chaotic when Cartman uses questionable cutting-edge science to win the race.”
South Park Season 28, Episode 4 will first premiere on Comedy Central at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The episode will then begin streaming on Paramount+ on Thursday at 6 a.m. ET and 3 a.m. ET.
Will ‘South Park’s’ Thanksgiving Episode Get Political?
Since President Donald Trump, members of his administration (including Vice President JD Vance) and his policies have been the target of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s mockery in both Seasons 27 and 28 of South Park, there’s no reason to believe that the comedy duo will stop their lampooning of the president now.
While the new South Park episodes since July have largely been set in Washington, D.C., the last few have highlighted more of the town of South Park and its core group of characters, including Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny.
Parker and Stone even put out a self-aware episode on Halloween, where Stan assured his friends, “Things will go back to normal, and in the meantime, we just have to make the most of where we are.”
As such, while the description of the Turkey Trot episode implies that it will be set on Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny’s stomping grounds, there’s a storyline about Trump and Satan’s baby that Parker and Stone still need to deliver on. Essentially, don’t be surprised if the commander-in-chief makes an appearance in the Thanksgiving episode.
South Park Season 28, Episode 4— Turkey Trot — airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central before it arrives on streaming at 6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT.
