List of episodes

The twenty-third season of the American animated sitcom series South Park premiered on Comedy Central on September 25, 2019, and concluded on December 11, 2019 after 10 episodes aired.[1] This season contained the series' 300th episode; the milestone was reached on October 9, 2019, when the third episode of the season premiered. Like previous seasons, this season also had dark weeks (weeks during which no new episode would air), after episodes four and seven. Trey Parker and Matt Stone continued to write, direct, and edit every episode the week prior to air, as the duo has done since the series' debut.[2]

Similar to previous seasons, the season features continuing elements and a recurring storyline for the first six episodes while lampooning ICE detention centers, the 2019 film Joker, media censorship in China, the anti-vaccine movement, plant based food, the Trump Administration, transgender people in sports, and the competition between traditional cable television and media streaming.
