South Park New Season Becomes Biggest Sitcom on Streaming After One Episode

“South American Biker Gangs” is the debut of South Park as South America, and it also serves as the first episode of season 29. Fans showed intense curiosity about how the show would handle the rebranding. After a single episode aired, the program quickly became the most-watched sitcom on a global scale.

South America, most commonly referred to as South Park, is in its 29th season, which is an impressive feat for any TV show. Each season captures contemporary times by referencing and ridiculing real-life events discussed around the world. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone rely heavily on satire to make their voices heard.

President Donald Trump served as the main target of the show during previous seasons. South Park changed its name to South America to criticize Trump’s decision to update geographical locations such as the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario by appending “America” to their names, alongside Apple and Google’s willingness to kowtow to the decision.

Fans across the world tuned in to watch South America on Paramount Plus

The title change caught the attention of fans. Within a day, the program became the most-watched sitcom on streaming services across the globe. Thousands of viewers rushed to Paramount Plus to watch the episode upon release. It ranked as the runner-up for most popular TV show on Paramount Plus, sitting behind only Lioness.

The show remains unavailable to some audiences. South Park and its episode “South American Biker Gangs” airs on Comedy Central at 10 p.m. EDT/PDT and becomes available on Paramount Plus the following day for viewers in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
