‘South Park’ returns with a new target: Club sports - USA Today

"South Park" – whoops, make that "South America" – is back with a new episode Wednesday night, Nov. 11.

The Emmy-winning animated series has a new episode airing at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central and will be available to stream on Paramount+ and On Demand afterwards.

"South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone renamed the series as "South America" in September ahead of its 29th season to poke fun at President Donald Trump, who in August signed an order changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America amid a trade war with Canada. Prior to that, Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

Club sports are the focus of the new episode, entitled "We Be Clubbin,'" as Craig’s afternoons and weekends are consumed by club sports and Tweek signs up, too, to spend more time with him, according to Comedy Central's description.

This will be the fifth episode of the series' 29th season. The next new episode will air on Wednesday, Nov. 25, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

While the new season has brought a name inspired by Trump's proclivities for renaming things, the Trump character that has dominated the storylines of the past two seasons is nowhere to be found.

A recent twist: Stan's dad, Randy, fell prey to "looksmaxxing" in the Oct. 14 episode and now has joined the gang. As of the Oct. 28 episode, he's going to school with them, in essence replacing Kenny, who was killed off in the season premiere.
