The much-anticipated Season 27 premiere of the satirical series centered on the conclusion of “wokeness” and featured a Trump-like character suing the residents of South Park for $US5 billion following their protests against Jesus appearing in local schools.

“I didn’t want to come back and be in the school, but I had to because it was part of a lawsuit and the agreement with Paramount,” the Jesus character states, referencing Comedy Central’s parent company and the legal matters concerning its upcoming sale.

“This merger is a s–tshow and it’s f—ing up South Park,” the two wrote in a post shared on social media.

“We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.”

The season premiere this week coincided with an announcement that the two creators had reached a $1.5 billion deal to stream all South Park episodes on Paramount+ with an order for 50 more episodes to air on Comedy Central.

A person familiar with the matter confirmed the $1.5 billion valuation for the South Park streaming deal to CNN.
