*The Paramount+ dates are calendar calculations from the official “next day” rule for the U.S., Canada and Australia. The announcement does not specify an upload hour. Catalogs and timing outside those markets can differ.

Why there is no new episode every Wednesday

The dates are easy to misread as a normal Wednesday schedule. They are not. After the premiere, the official list skips one Wednesday each time: September 30, October 14, October 28, November 11 and November 25.

Comedy Central and Paramount+ announced the pattern, but the official release reviewed for this guide does not explain why the episodes are spaced two weeks apart. It is accurate to call the run every other Wednesday; it would be speculation to attach a production reason.

NEXT DAY · PARAMOUNT+

Stream after broadcast

The official announcement promises next-day availability in the U.S., Canada and Australia. Paramount+ currently labels the next episode as streaming October 1, matching the September 30 TV date.

Do not plan around a guessed midnight release. The reviewed official pages state the day, not a universal hour. If the episode is not visible when Thursday begins, check the show page later rather than treating an unofficial countdown as a guarantee.

Why the official site says “South America”

If the name on the official season page looks wrong, you have not opened a different series. South Park Studios currently presents Season 29 under the on-site name South America, while the network’s formal announcement still identifies it as the 29th season of South Park.

For finding the schedule, use “South Park Season 29.” For checking clips or the season page, be prepared to see “South America” in the page heading. This guide keeps the familiar series name because that is the query viewers are most likely to type.

Is Season 29 weekly or biweekly?

The announced dates are 14 days apart, so the current broadcast pattern is every other Wednesday. The network announcement lists the dates directly.

No exact hour is promised in the official announcement reviewed here. It says next day in the U.S., Canada and Australia. The next listed streaming date is October 1.

Six broadcast dates are announced: the September 16 premiere and five additional episodes through November 25.

The date to save now

Wednesday, September 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT is the next TV premiere. If you watch through Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada or Australia, look for the new episode on Thursday, October 1 without relying on an unofficial exact-hour countdown.
