There are seven episodes left before the season finale, since the first two episodes have already aired and the third one will release on August 20.

South Park has mixed episodic satire with loose seasonal themes. Fans can expect the rest of the episodes to keep making fun of political personalities, cultural trends, and global issues.

A brief recap for South Park season 27 episode 2

The second episode, titled Got a Nut, came out on August 6, 2025. The narrative took a dig at U.S. immigration laws and law enforcement, as well as Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Vice President JD Vance, and President Donald Trump.

The boys got caught up in a crazy spoof of an ICE raid, which led to ridiculous political arguments in the area. As usual, the show mixed slapstick comedy with sharp criticism, leaving fans excited to see what will happen next.

Major events to expect from South Park season 27 episode 3

Although the plot for the upcoming installment remains under wraps, certain narrative threads and the show’s sarcastic pattern provide clues about what to expect.

Based on the events so far, episode 3 is likely to focus on the following:

Escalation of political satire: The first two episodes were mostly about the White House, but the third episode may continue to make fun of current U.S. officials. It may also move its attention to foreign relations or economic difficulties.
Character-driven chaos: Kyle, Cartman, Stan, and Kenny are likely to be the main characters in the story again, and they might get South Park's residents into another over-the-top catastrophe that mirrors real-life issues.
More cultural parodies: Since the first episode of South Park season 27 had a lot of references to recent U.S. politics, fans can expect to see parodies of viral internet phenomena, celebrity scandals, and tech failures mixed into the narratives with the show's usual irreverence.

After a two-week hiatus, the series is set to return this week with episode 3 on Comedy Central and Paramount+. It promises more humor, social critique, and unforgettable antics from the beloved Colorado kids.
