South Park's Surprise Season 28 Launch and the End of a Short-Lived Season 27
Just when we thought we had the rhythm of South Park Season 27 down, Trey Parker and Matt Stone hit us with a classic curveball. What everyone expected to be the sixth episode of the current season, "Twisted Christian," actually premiered as the first episode of Season 28! Comedy Central confirmed this abrupt change, though they kept mum on the reasons behind the switcheroo.
This means Season 27, which was initially slated for a longer run of 10 episodes, wrapped up after a mere five installments. Talk about leaving us hanging! But don't fret too much, because Parker and Stone have reassured fans that the originally planned number of new episodes for the year will still see the light of day. They're just packaged differently now, under a shiny new season banner.
The show's knack for timely, often controversial, satire was on full display in this new episode, diving headfirst into a baffling internet phenomenon that’s been driving adults up the wall and continuing a delightfully bizarre political-supernatural storyline. Let's break down what went down!
The Mystifying "6-7" TikTok Trend Taking Over South Park Elementary
The episode kicks off with a familiar scene for many parents and teachers: kids chanting a seemingly nonsensical phrase. In this case, it's "6-7!" The viral "6-7" trend, which has completely taken over Gen Alpha's social media feeds and real-life interactions, plays a huge role in the premiere. For the uninitiated, "6-7" originated from rapper Skrilla's track "Doot Doot (6 7)" back in December 2024, reportedly referencing a 6'7" basketball player. It really blew up on TikTok thanks to a user named Maverick Trevillain, better known as "The 67 Kid," who popularized its accompanying hand gesture.
What makes it so bewildering for adults is its complete lack of a coherent meaning. It's essentially an elaborate internet inside joke, deployed by younger generations specifically to confuse and, let's be honest, troll their elders. In South Park, PC Principal catches wind of this "satanic numerology" infiltrating the school hallways and is determined to put a stop to it, leading him to bring in a very special guest speaker.
Peter Thiel's Antichrist Obsession and Donald Trump's "Perfect" Anatomy
Enter Peter Thiel. Yes, THAT Peter Thiel, the Palantir co-founder and venture capitalist known for his controversial real-life lectures on religion and technology, where he's even accused critics of AI of being "legionnaires of the Antichrist." In South Park, he's introduced as the "absolute expert on the end of days and the coming of the Antichrist."
Thiel delivers an impromptu "TED Talk" to the bewildered students of South Park Elementary, explaining that the Antichrist is a "newer, more human form of Satan" that could walk the Earth "within the next six to seven weeks." Naturally, the kids explode with a unified, enthusiastic "6-7!"
The satire really hits its stride when Thiel explains that Satan couldn't have a child until Donald Trump came along, who, according to Thiel, has a "perfect-sized manhood" to fit inside Satan's "pinhole" sized rectum. And just how big is Trump's manhood? Thiel estimates it's between "six and seven centimeters." Cue another deafening "6-7!" from the students.
Frustrated, Thiel becomes dead set on finding the source of this "demonic" craze. With PC Principal and school counselor Jesus Christ in tow, he dives into the school's data center. His solution? An AI face detection program linked to security cameras watching every student's move – even in the girls' bathroom! When Jesus questions the bathroom camera, Thiel's unwavering response is simply: "To stop the Antichrist!"
"Hello, kids, I'm Peter Thiel, and I'm here to talk to you about the Antichrist. Ok, so first, what is the Antichrist? The Antichrist is a newer, more human form of Satan that will soon walk the Earth. We don't know how soon it will walk the Earth, but it could be within the next six to seven weeks."
— Peter Thiel, as portrayed in South Park's "Twisted Christian"Turns out, Thiel isn't just a concerned citizen; he's secretly working for JD Vance, who wants to prevent the Antichrist from being born so he can take Trump's place. Thiel quickly narrows his search down to one child who seems "more possessed than the others": Eric Cartman. In a hilarious parody of The Exorcist, Thiel confronts Cartman, who projectile vomits with uncontrollable laughter when Thiel mentions his Uber ride taking "around six or seven minutes." Unable to perform the exorcism, Thiel declares he must take Cartman to D.C. to "unlock the secrets he holds," leaving us on a cliffhanger that promises more political-religious absurdity.
Decoding the Season Switch: What's Up with South Park's Episode Schedule?
The biggest question on many fans' minds (besides what Cartman's "secrets" are) is: why the sudden end to Season 27 and jump to Season 28? While Comedy Central confirmed the change, they didn't offer any specific reasons. However, the rumor mill suggests it could be tied to the massive $1.5 billion deal creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone inked with Paramount in July 2025. That deal reportedly mandates 10 new episodes per year for five years, and perhaps this season split is a contractual maneuver.
Regardless of the behind-the-scenes specifics, fans can rest easy knowing that the planned number of episodes for this year will still air. Season 27 had an "unusual cadence" with its releases, and even sparked controversy with a parody of Charlie Kirk that aired weeks before his death, leading Comedy Central to pull reruns (though it's still available on Paramount+). Parker and Stone, however, stated the delay was due to the episode not being finished in time, not censorship.
Here’s when you can expect the remaining new episodes of South Park Season 28:
- Episode 2: Wednesday, October 29, 2025
- Episode 3: Wednesday, November 12, 2025
- Episode 4: Wednesday, November 26, 2025
- Episode 5: Wednesday, December 10, 2025
So, mark your calendars! The bi-weekly schedule is back for the rest of the year.
