South Park renamed 'South America' ahead of Season 29

Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced on 8 September 2026 that South Park will be renamed "South America" ahead of its 29th season, mocking President Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" and Lake Ontario to "Lake America." The statement, attributed to Comedy Central, thanked Paramount as "a Skydance Capitulation." Whether the name persists beyond premiere night remains unconfirmed. Season 29 returns 16 September on Comedy Central, streaming next day on Paramount+.
