In a surprising turn of events, the animated series 'South Park' has kicked off its 28th season, following the success of its 27th season which aired just this past summer. The unexpected premiere unfolded in an episode addressing pressing themes like government surveillance and trending memes relevant to younger audiences. While fans initially looked forward to a conventional six-episode run, it was reported that Season 27 would actually comprise ten episodes, a detail later clarified by Comedy Central. The network confirmed that both Seasons 27 and 28 will consist of five episodes each, despite previous miscommunication. This alteration in the release schedule has sparked curiosity among viewers, yet the show's knack for delivering sharp satire remains intact.
