South Park season 21 release date confirmed as new trailer released

Ooooooh, I 'member

‘Member South Park? Of course you do. Twenty seasons have passed and the animated show remains as funny and relevant as ever.

Although the majority of South Park news has concerned the upcoming Fractured But Whole game — a sequel to the excellent Stick of Truth — we finally have a trailer for season 21.

Due to episodes being made during the week before release, the turnaround being six days, there are no new clips.

Instead, the trailer is a montage of famous past moments, set to Cartman singing along to Montell Jordan’s ‘This Is How We Do It’. Watch below.

The clip also confirms the release date, premiering on 13 September. The season was previously due in August, the delay being announced back in July.

Last season was notable for being South Park’s second serialised season, the events following the election of Mr. Garrison/Donald Trump.

Come later this year, the show creators are going to lay off the Trump jokes, instead concentrating on what made the show such a hit: the kids.

Speaking earlier this year, Trey Parker said after being asked whether they will return to ‘simple’ stories: “Yeah, and [making jokes off the latest news] has also just gotten boring. We weren’t ever really that show.

“We would do an entire season and there would be one moment that played off something that had just happened and people would go, ‘South Park is the show that does that.’ And that’s just not true. We’re not.”

While promoting season 20, Parker and Stone joked about reality becoming satire, saying: “It's really hard to make fun of and in the last season of South Park we were really trying to make fun of what was going on but we couldn't keep up and what was actually happening was much funnier than anything we could come up with.”

As a result, the duo, who also directed 2003 film Team America: World Police, were forced to rewrite an episode of South Park to reflect Trump's victory over Hilary Clinton after expecting different results
