It feels as though about five years have passed since the Halloween episode of South Park season 28, and in a way, that’s the truth. Season 28 episode 3 was delayed once again following October 31, which was the amended release date for the October 29 episode.

In all honesty, the show’s entire 2025 release schedule has been very strange. South Park season 27 started off normally, before quickly succumbing to two-week delays without explanation. We then learned creators wanted “more time” to prepare said episodes, installing the bi-monthly release schedule as a permanent fixture.
