The latest “South Park” episode will center on the White House demolition and shift its premiere to Halloween night.
Though episodes typically air on Wednesdays, the Comedy Central show is shifting the second installment of Season 28 to Friday, Oct. 31. As seen through the photos shared by the network, Friday’s episode will satirize the sudden demolition to the White House’s east wing, which will make way for Donald Trump’s plans for a new ballroom.
The episode, titled “The Woman In The Hat,” will see the White House dealing with a disruptive spirit from the east wing, while Stan worries that South Park has become too political, per the official logline.
The series opted to shift the release of the episode to Halloween night as a way to make an event out of its latest installment, according to an individual close to the production. The episode also continues to take its storyline inspiration from the headlines, taking on the controversial move from President Trump to tear down the east wing of the White House to build a new ballroom on the property.
The presence of Satan in the photos also hints that the Season 27 and 28 storyline of the President’s incoming love child with the devil will continue. The Season 28 premiere, which aired Oct. 15, followed as Vice President JD Vance enlisted self-proclaimed Antichrist expert Peter Thiel to help stop the baby from being born.
After the special Halloween episode, “South Park” will head back to its typical Wednesday airing schedule with new episodes premiering on Nov. 12, Nov. 26 and Dec. 10. New episodes are available to stream on Paramount+ and on demand after their premiere.
“South Park” typically airs Wednesday on Comedy Central. Past episodes are now streaming on Paramount+.
