The twenty-fourth season of the American animated sitcom South Park is the shortest season of the series, consisting of two extended-length episodes: "The Pandemic Special" and "South ParQ Vaccination Special". The production of the season and the topics of both episodes were shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic.

While broadcast rights have remained with Comedy Central, this is the first season where the exclusive streaming rights have been held by HBO Max.

Production

On August 5, 2021, Comedy Central announced that Parker and Stone signed a $900 million deal for extending the series to 30 seasons through 2027 and 14 feature films, exclusive to the Paramount+ streaming platform owned and operated by Comedy Central's parent company, ViacomCBS. Two films were confirmed to be released at the end of 2021. Parker and Stone later clarified that the projects were television films, and that it was ViacomCBS who decided to advertise them as feature films. Paramount+ promotes the productions as "exclusive events", and subsequent trade publications have identified the productions as television specials.
