Season 27 of South Park was delayed by Paramount from July 9th to July 23rd due to the ongoing merger with Skydance Media. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone expressed their frustration, labeling the merger a 'shitshow' that has negatively impacted the show's production. Leading to the merger's complications, Paramount settled a lawsuit with Donald Trump, causing additional public scrutiny.

This merger is a shitshow and it's fucking up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.
