When Will ‘South Park' Season 27 Return With Episode 2?
'South Park' Season 27 came back with a bang last week with its controversial President Donald Trump episode. When will creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone return with Episode 2 on cable and streaming?
South Park officially returned with its 27th season last week on Wednesday, just on the heels of a new five-year, $1.5 billion deal between Paramount Global and creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The deal helped get Seasons 1-26 of South Park moved to Paramount+ and calls for the duo to produce 50 new episodes over the next five years.
The premiere episode first played on cable's Comedy Central on Wednesday night before its Paramount+ debut on Thursday morning. By that time, the internet blew up over Parker and Stone's unmerciful comedic mockery of Trump. Among other things, the equal opportunity offenders gave the commander-in-chief small genitalia, put him in bed with Satan and had him entirely disrobe in a live-action AI deepfake 'public service announcement.'
One thing Paramount+ has not been clear about so far with South Park Season 27 is when the new episodes air and what time they begin streaming on the platform. As such, outlets including this one and The Hollywood Reporter reported last week that the episodes would be airing weekly once the new season got underway.
As of early Tuesday morning, USA Today reported that Episode 2 of the new season would be released on Wednesday, July 30, on Comedy Central and July 31 on Paramount.
Now, however, Paramount+ has unexpectedly switched things up and the show has gone on hiatus for a week.
Comedy Central announced Tuesday (via Deadline) that the next episode will not be released on July 30 and 31 on Comedy Central and Paramount+ and instead noted that the season will resume on Wednesday, Aug. 6, on the cable channel. That means, of course, that Episode 2 will not be streaming on Paramount+ until Aug. 7.
Another thing Paramount+ still has not been forthcoming about is exactly what time the new episodes premiere on the streaming platform. As of this publication, an email to the show's PR representatives at Paramount+ has not been answered.
What Will 'South Park' Season 27 Episode 2 Be About?
In a promotional video teasing the return of South Park Season 27 Episode 2 on Tuesday (see above), the show kept up its mockery of President Donald Trump, this time by showing him rub Satan's leg under a dinner table.
The promo teaser, which runs 20 seconds, also shows Cartman engaged in a debate about abortion with another student at South Park Elementary, with PC 'Power Christian' Principal standing behind him. In addition, the promo shows Mr. Garrison riding in an ICE vehicle with ICE officers holding a weapon and covering up his face.
Whether the clips featuring Trump, Cartman and Garrison end up in the Aug. 6 episode is yet to be seen. During an appearance at San Diego Comic Con last Thursday (via Deadline), Trey Parker assured fans that the shows will remain topical and no episodes will be canned presentations.
'You seriously think we made a bunch of shows ahead of time and baked them for later? We're not doing any of that,' Parker told the crowd at Comic Con (via Deadline).
According to the trade publication, Comedy Central will re-air the premiere episode on Wednesday, July 30. It is already streaming on Paramount+.
South Park Season 27 Episode 2 will return to cable's Comedy Central on Aug. 8 and streaming on Paramount+ on Aug. 9.

Song Young-kyu, South Korean movie and TV star, found dead at 55: Reports
Song Young-kyu, a South Korean actor best known for his role as Chief Choi in 2019's South Korean box office hit "Extreme Job," has reportedly died. He was 55. An acquaintance found Young-kyu unresponsive inside a parked car the morning of Aug. 4, Variety and South Korean publication Yonhap News report. South Korean authorities do not suspect foul play and no suicide note was found, according to the outlets. Young-kyu, who was found south of Seoul in the city of Yongin, had recently been the subject of scandal when he was caught in a drunk driving incident in the same city in June, Deadline and Variety reported. The incident led to his removal from several mid-project stage and television productions. A staple in South Korean cinema, Young-kyu made his acting debut in 1994, launching a robust career that spanned both film and TV. Appearing in popular series like 2022's "Narco-Saints," a popular Korean Netflix original series, and Disney+'s "Big Bet," he was a reliable supporting actor, bringing both experience and consistency. Young-kyu was best known, though, for his role as Chief Choi in the action-comedy blockbuster "Extreme Job." In it, he appears as the head of a detective squad investigating narcotics on the low and running a fried chicken restaurant as a front. He appeared in the film alongside actors Ryu Seung-ryong, Lee Hanee and Jin Seon-kyu. It was a major box office success in the country and introduced a wider set of audiences to Youn-kyu's steady and masterful onscreen presence.

Tracker Season 3: Release date, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 4, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated August 4, 2025, 18:17 IST Fans of Tracker are counting down the days for Season 3, and honestly, it's easy to see why. The show's mix of gritty action, emotional storytelling, and unique take on the weekly procedural drama has built a loyal following—and Justin Hartley's performance as Colter Shaw is at the center of it all. Season 2 wrapped up in May 2025 with some game-changing reveals, and now, the buzz around what's next is heating up fast. Here's a laid-back look at everything we know so far about Tracker Season 3, from its release date and cast changes to what the next chapter might bring. Release Date for Tracker Season 3 Mark your calendars— Tracker Season 3 officially premieres on October 19, 2025, airing Sunday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Filming started back in mid-July 2025 and will continue through April 2026, all set against the stunning backdrop of Vancouver, British Columbia. And for those catching up or rewatching, Seasons 1 and 2 are already streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S., with select regions getting it via Disney+. New Season 3 episodes will also be available on Paramount+ the day after their CBS broadcast. Tracker Season 3 Cast: Who's Returning? The Tracker Season 3 cast is seeing some shake-ups, with a leaner core team and familiar faces returning to drive the story forward. Here's the breakdown: Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw : The heart of the series, Hartley returns as the lone-wolf 'rewardist' who tracks missing people for cash. His compelling performance continues to anchor the show. Fiona Rene as Reenie Greene : Colter's sharp-witted lawyer and occasional sidekick is back, bringing chemistry and charm to the team. Jensen Ackles as Russell Shaw : Colter's estranged brother, played by the Supernatural star, is expected to return after stealing scenes in Season 2. Despite his busy schedule, Ackles is reportedly in talks to appear. Wendy Crewson as Mary Dove Shaw : Colter's mother will likely return, especially after Season 2's shocking reveal about her potential role in Ashton Shaw's death. Lee Tergesen as Ashton Shaw : Colter's father is expected to appear in flashbacks, deepening the family mystery. Sofia Pernas as Billie : The bounty hunter who's crossed paths with Colter before is likely to make another appearance. Chris Lee as Jay Exley: Introduced in Season 2 as Bobby's cousin, Jay steps up as Colter's tech support, filling the void left by a departing cast member. Notably, the team is shrinking. Abby McEnany (Velma Bruin) and Eric Graise (Bobby Exley) won't return for Season 3, following Robin Weigert's exit as Teddi Bruin after Season 1. These departures shift the dynamic, with Colter relying more on himself and a tighter crew. Executive producer Elwood Reid has teased a restructured team, moving away from the 'call-a-friend' formula to focus on Colter's independence. Plot Details: What to Expect in Tracker Season 3 While Tracker keeps its signature style of new cases every week, Season 3 is going to peel back more layers of Colter's complicated past. Expect the usual thrills—missing person hunts, tricky criminals, and intense action—but the real heart of the season will lie in the fallout from that Season 2 finale. If you remember, the final episode, 'Echo Ridge,' ended with a jaw-dropper: Otto Waldron confessed he killed Colter's father, Ashton, after being asked to do so by Colter's mother . Yeah—Mary might have had a darker role in the family's history than anyone thought. That twist alone sets up a deeply personal storyline, with Colter likely chasing answers about Mary's motives and her connection to a scientist named David Pearson, who mysteriously died the same year as Ashton. Even a disconnected phone number found in Ashton's stuff might come back to haunt him. The new season will walk a fine line between standalone drama and a deeper, serialized family mystery. Hartley has teased that Colter is far from invincible—he's human, vulnerable, and may even come close to death. With plenty of surprises, a leaner cast, and the writers planting subtle clues from past episodes, Season 3 promises to push both the character and the audience further into the world of Tracker .

Trump Had This Telling Reaction Upon Learning Of Sydney Sweeney's Political Party Affiliation
President Donald Trump on Sunday reacted to the news that actor Sydney Sweeney, whose appearance in a new and controversial American Eagle ad has stirred criticism, is a registered Republican voter. When Sweeney registered to vote in Florida in June 2024, nearly five months before Trump's victory in last year's presidential race, she listed her party affiliation as Republican, according to public records reviewed by BuzzFeed. Asked to offer his reaction to the news, Trump said: 'Oh, now I love her ad.' 'You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans,' Trump continued. 'If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.' Sweeney has yet to comment on the revelation. Both Sweeney and American Eagle have faced backlash over a new ad campaign that features the 'Euphoria' actress, who has blond hair and blue eyes, wearing the brand's denim alongside a tagline featuring wordplay on 'jeans' and 'genes,' which some critics interpreted as an allusion to eugenics, while others said glorified whiteness. Many conservatives, though, including Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), fiercely defended it. Trump's White House Communications Director Steven Cheung labeled the criticism of the campaign as 'cancel culture run amok.' 'This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024,' Cheung wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'They're tired of this bullshit.' On Friday, American Eagle issued a statement defending the campaign. ''Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story,' the brand said. 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' Sweeney had previously drawn fire in 2022 after her brother, Trent Sweeney, posted photos of guests at their mother's 60th birthday party wearing MAGA-style hats and 'Blue Lives Matter' tops. Sweeney sought to quell the criticism, claiming the reaction the pictures received was 'wild.' 'An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention,' she wrote on X at the time. 'Please stop making assumptions.'
