South Park Studios Takes Viewers Behind the Scenes of Pandemic Special

South Park fans are now only hours away from learning how Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and the rest of the denizens of South Park have been faring during the COVID pandemic, with series co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone offering viewers of the long-running animated series a (socially-distanced) look into their lives with the one-hour episode "The Pandemic Special." In a rare treat, South Park Studios is taking us behind the scenes of how it produced its first-ever supersized episode remotely- with the all-new episode premiering Wednesday, September 30, at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT on Comedy Central.

Here's your look at how all of that crazed creativity lead to a very timely return for the boys:

As you're about to see in the following trailer, the combination of Randy looking to make a killing in the weed business and Cartman willing to keep from physically going back to school by any means necessary makes for one helluva "welcome back":

South Park Season 24 "The Pandemic Special": Randy comes to terms with his role in the COVID-19 outbreak as the on-going pandemic presents continued challenges to the citizens of South Park. The kids happily head back to school but nothing resembles the normal that they once knew; not their teachers, not their homeroom, not even Eric Cartman. Written and directed by Trey Parker.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are the co-creators of South Park, with Parker, Stone, Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II executive producing. Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell, Jack Shia and Vernon Chatman are Producers. Chris Brion is the Creative Director of South Park Digital Studios.

Renewed for three more seasons by Comedy Central, the long-running animated series is seen as the foundation from which the cbale network is looking to build its library of adult animation. Over the past several months, Comedy Central announced a new slate of upcoming programming that includes the return of Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head, the Tracee Ellis Ross-starring Daria spinoff Jodie, and a reimagining of The Ren and Stimpy Show.

South Park Studios, CC.com, and the Comedy Central App will have new episodes available in HD immediately following West Coast airing. Fans (like us) looking for the uncensored content have iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, XBOX Live, Google Play, Sony Entertainment Network, Vudu, and Verizon Flexview to meet their needs.
