The third episode of Season 27 of the popular animated series “South Park” has been pushed back, causing excitement among fans who are eager to learn more about the delay’s cause. This long-running show features four crude friends and their hilarious antics in and around their town. Interestingly, Episode 2 also experienced a one-week delay due to issues surrounding its premiere episode, airing on August 6 instead. It appears that the new episode may encounter a similar delay, but for what seems like a positive reason. Here’s more information on the matter.

Why there’s no South Park Season 27 Episode 3 tonight

The third episode of South Park’s Season 27 was originally scheduled to air today, August 13. However, it has been moved to next week, on August 20, which also happens to be the show’s 28th anniversary. Exciting fan-favorite episodes will be broadcast on Comedy Central, starting at 9 AM Eastern and Pacific Time. Today is recognized as “South Park Day” by Paramount Media Networks.

Beyond featuring the most popular episode, the event promises unique glimpses behind the scenes and special interviews with creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The festivities will culminate by screening the first ever episode of South Park, airing back in 1997 when the series debuted.

In the first episode of South Park’s debut season, titled “Cartman’s Alien Encounter,” the boys are casually waiting for their school bus when Cartman regales them with a captivating tale. He shares an extraordinary experience from the previous night, where he claims to have been abducted by aliens right from his bed. Initially skeptical, Kyle and Stan eventually convince him that what he experienced was not merely a dream but a real-life event.

Since the debut of South Park’s 27th season, there has been much debate centered around its connection to the White House and Trump. The opening episode subtly poked fun at Paramount+ and Trump’s contentious legal battle, while also featuring a graphic scene involving Trump and Satan.

Episode 2 carried forward from the first episode by further exploring Trump’s close ties with Satan. Due to the uproar surrounding the premiere, Episode 2 was pushed back a week and eventually aired on August 6. As the series marks another anniversary, another episode has been postponed once more. Fortunately, fans can enjoy reruns of classic South Park episodes in the meantime.
