Looks like all the speculation about it coming to an end soon was wrong.
'South Park' to return on Oct. 5, and all the way through 2013. Kick-ass.
A celebratory dinner at Casa Bonita is in order, PopWatchers: The date for the second half of the 15th season of South Park has been announced! Comedy Central confirmed to EW that the animated series will be returning on Wednesday, October 5 at 10 p.m. The latter half of the 15th season will include seven new episodes.
The network also likely put the fears of many fans to rest that the shows creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were calling it quits after they alluded to a possible end to the series during Junes mid-season finale Youre Getting Old. Parker and Stone are signed on through 2013, Comedy Central told EW, which will bring the show to a staggering 17 seasons. So while it seemed like the duo had one foot out the door (and the other one on the Broadway stage with their Tony-winning hit musical Book of Mormon), South Park fans can breathe a sigh of relief, and inhale a few more Cheesy Poofs, for at least another two years.
But Im curious: Are you happy to hear this news, PopWatchers? I cant imagine many of you wouldnt be, as you voted South Park the greatest animated television series of all-time. Does this news make the surprisingly touching Youre Getting Old feel a little less poignant? Or are you just relieved to know theres still at least a few more seasons of hilariously offensive adventures to be had from Colorados funniest foul-mouthed fourth graders?
