Season 26 of “South Park” is among us, and the animators have placed Butters in what can only be described as an odd situation.
The opening of the trailer shows a group of cows on the plains of Colorado before cutting to a cloth stitched with “There’s No Place Like Here”. With birds chirping in the background, the trailer suddenly explodes into a clip of “South Park” character Butters humming as he seemingly struggles to get out of an undisclosed contraption that we shall call uncomfortable.
The new season begins Wednesday, February 8 at 10 p.m. CST on Comedy Central, leading up to its 25th anniversary as the longest-running cable scripted series. The series is set to continue until 2027 to reach 30 seasons with MTV Entertainment Studios signing a deal with Parker and Stone to expand the crude and sometimes gruesome comedy series .
The deal also includes 14 “South Park” original streaming events that will land exclusively on Paramount+. The installments include parts one and two of “South Park: The Streaming Wars,” “South Park: Post Covid” and “South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid”.
