What time is South Park Season 28 Episode 5 out?

by

The final South Park episode is almost here! Here’s what you need to know about Season 28, Episode 5, titled ‘The Crap Out,’ including when it will air and what to expect.

Season 28 of South Park, which premiered in October 2025, has recently been discussed due to some delayed episodes and storylines that have sparked debate.

The story revolves around a bizarre and disturbing plot: Satan becomes pregnant by President Donald Trump. He then has an affair with Vice-President JD Vance, and together they plot to secretly terminate the pregnancy.

Here’s how that might play out in the season finale, plus details of when and where to watch.

South Park Season 28 Episode 5 release date & time

The latest episode of South Park, Season 28 Episode 5, is coming out today, Wednesday, December 10th, at 10 PM Eastern Time and 9 PM Central Time on Comedy Central. You’ll be able to watch it on Paramount Plus starting tomorrow, December 11th, at 6 AM Eastern Time and 3 AM Pacific Time.

Originally, Season 27 was planned to have ten episodes, making this episode the season finale. But the season was divided in half, so this is now the finale for the five-episode Season 28 instead.

I just learned from The Hollywood Reporter that the plan all along was to split seasons 27 and 28 into five episodes each! It turns out that whole thing about season 27 having ten episodes was just a mix-up. I’m glad they clarified it – it makes a lot more sense now!

Season 28 release schedule and delays explained

Just a quick update about tonight’s new episode of South Park. It will now air on Wednesday, September 24th, at 10 PM Eastern and Pacific time on Comedy Central.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone famously make each episode of South Park incredibly quickly – writing, animating, and recording voices in just a few days. This allows them to react to and comment on current events almost immediately.

This often leads to delays in new episodes, making it hard to predict when they’ll be released. Sometimes there are even two-week gaps between episodes instead of the usual one, like what happened during Season 28.

  • Season 28 Episode 1 – October 15
  • Season 28 Episode 2 – October 31
  • Season 28 Episode 3 – November 12
  • Season 28 Episode 4 – November 26
  • Season 28 Episode 5 – December 10

Because episodes are completed so quickly, we usually don’t learn what happens until right before they air. However, the buzz is that the South Park Season 28 finale will center on the birth of the Antichrist.

Comedy Central shared a short preview that begins with Stan declaring, “That’s exactly what people need right now – a huge Christmas miracle.”

We then see Donald Trump and JD Vance appearing to raise money for the Salvation Army, but it’s suggested those funds could actually be directed towards supporting abortion services.

But the official synopsis suggests the baby will be born, as the log-line reads as follows: “Satan’s due, Stan’s praying, and only a Christmas miracle can deliver the Antichrist on time.”

The latest episode is called ‘The Crap Out,’ which has viewers wondering if a rather unusual birth is in store for Satan. You’ll need to watch to see what happens!
