Record viewing figures for South Park new season debut

Donald Trump Paramount

The premiere of South Park season 27, which heavily satirised Donald Trump, achieved record-breaking viewership figures.
The episode, titled "Sermon on the Mount," attracted 5.9 million viewers across Comedy Central and Paramount+, marking its best season premiere rating since 2022.
Paramount reported that it was also the show's biggest share of a cable audience for a season premiere since 1999 and its "most social episode" to date.
A spokesperson for Donald Trump criticised the episode, dismissing it as "uninspired" and claiming the show lacked relevance.
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone issued a sarcastic apology, with future episodes also set to feature satirical portrayals of Trump.
