South Park season 25 explained
The twenty-fifth season of the American animated sitcom series South Park premiered on Comedy Central on February 2, 2022[1] [2] and ended on March 16, 2022.[3] [4]
Marketing
To celebrate the show's 25th anniversary, live Broadway orchestral covers of the series' songs were performed, alongside the release date of the upcoming season.[5] [6] [7]
On March 16, 2022, a live concert celebrating 25 years of South Park music was announced, which took place at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, on August 10, 2022. On June 7, 2022, a second concert was announced and took place on August 9, 2022.[8] The concerts featured appearances by Trey Parker and Matt Stone and music by Primus and Ween.[9] The concert aired as a special on August 13 on Comedy Central, which is the anniversary date of the show's premiere, and became available the next day on Paramount+.[10] An exhibition, titled South Park: The 25th Anniversary Experience, and various pop-up stores were set up at select locations in the United States and other countries.[11]
Episodes
Reception
Screen Rant felt that the season was too short, saying that "it took quite a while for South Park season 25 to get going. Some of the earlier episodes, such as 'Pajama Day', felt like they were going through the motions with their COVID-related satire, and by the time the season did get going with a pair of Butters-centric episodes touching upon cancel culture and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the season was already over. Without more episodes to properly develop and marinate character-specific plot threads and the brilliant current events satire that came with them, South Parks latest season, unfortunately, did not tell a complete and satisfying story."[12]
Home media
The season was released on Blu-ray and DVD on April 4, 2023.[13]
