List of episodes

The twenty-second season of South Park, an American animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, premiered on Comedy Central on September 26, 2018, and concluded on December 12, 2018, after 10 episodes aired.[1][2] This season once again had planned "dark weeks" (weeks during which no new episodes would air) after episode four and episode seven.

On September 13, 2018, the series began teasing a set of commercials about a mock-cancellation by Comedy Central by using the hashtag #cancelsouthpark.[3] Similar to the previous season, the season features continuing elements and recurring storylines without adhering to a linear story arc; while lampooning several phenomena such as school shootings in the United States, modern political correctness, climate change denial, and the working conditions and monopolistic tactics of Amazon, several characters in the show also express disdain and exasperation with South Park's constant attraction to controversy and surreal occurrences.

Reception

The twenty-second season of South Park received positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season holds a 77% approval rating, stating "South Park recaptures its sardonic magic in a less serialized season that remains hit-or-miss in its resonance but undeniably funny no matter who it skewers".[15]

The premiere episode "Dead Kids" was watched by 1.09 million viewers and scored a 0.7 in the ratings,[5] making it the lowest watched season premiere in the show's history and a decrease from the season 21 premiere episode "White People Renovating Houses", which was watched by 1.68 million viewers.[16]
