Comedy Central is airing a marathon of fan-favorite episodes of South Park on August 13, marking the show’s 26th anniversary. The special event starts at 9 a.m. ET and features interviews with creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, behind-the-scenes footage, and rare clips. The marathon comes ahead of the season premiere, which skipped a week and has been rescheduled for later in August.
The show’s tight production schedule is giving the team some breathing room, as they experience intense scrutiny over their latest season, which targets the Trump Administration. Despite controversy, South Park’s ratings have reached record highs, with 6 million cross-platform viewers tuning in for its season 27 premiere. The marathon celebration will showcase the show’s enduring popularity and provide a unique look at the making of this iconic animated series.
