South Park’s latest season becomes the top streaming sitcom after its premiere episode.

“South American Biker Gangs” marks South Park’s first foray into South America and kicks off season 29. Fans were eager to see how the show would embrace this new direction, and it quickly became the most-watched sitcom worldwide after just one episode.

Now in its 29th season, South Park continues to reflect the zeitgeist, cleverly weaving in satire that comments on current events and societal issues. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are unafraid to tackle controversial topics, using humor to express their viewpoints.

In recent seasons, President Donald Trump has been a frequent target of the show’s satire. The name change to South America serves as a pointed critique of Trump’s actions, as well as the decisions by major companies like Apple and Google to rename geographical features, replacing “Gulf of Mexico” and “Lake Ontario” with “America.”

This title change is significant, as it encapsulates the show’s identity. The shift certainly piqued viewers’ interest, leading to a surge in viewership that made it the most-watched sitcom on streaming platforms globally within a day of its release. Thousands flocked to Paramount Plus to catch the episode, making it the second most popular show on the service, just behind Lioness.

However, access to the episode is limited. “South American Biker Gangs” airs on Comedy Central at 10 p.m. EDT/PDT and becomes available on Paramount Plus the next day for audiences in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
