“South Park” returns with its delayed Season 27 premiere, “Sermon on the ’Mount,” which takes sharp jabs at Trump, Paramount, and even Jesus. The episode’s title nods to the show’s parent network, Paramount, and the creators openly express frustration over corporate mergers delaying production. Through scenes like Jesus’ courtroom-style speech referencing a “lawsuit agreement with Paramount” and a tense ‘60 Minutes’ protest coverage, the show critiques how legal and business pressures can shape public discourse.
The Trump storyline pushes the satire further into surreal territory, depicting Trump defiling a military drone and a bathroom stall referencing Jeffrey Epstein rumors. The episode also shows Trump in bed with Satan, evoking past South Park characters and sparking mixed public reactions. Just when it seems over, an AI-generated PSA with Trump wandering the desert teases more to come, setting the stage for Episode 2’s July 30th premiere and promising continued chaos.
