After a one-week break and the release of its latest episode on Aug. 20, Comedy Central’s “South Park” announced that it would change its episode release schedule from weekly to bi-weekly.

The network confirmed that new episodes will be released according to the updated schedule at least through September, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter and other publications.

Season 27 of “South Park” has only aired three episodes to date, featuring portrayals and jokes targeting the Trump administration, including the president, Vice President JD Vance, and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

Between those three releases, the show has already had two hiatuses: one between episodes 1 and 2, and another between episodes 2 and 3.
