The creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, have announced that the show's new series will be titled South America, in response to President Trump's attempts to rename geographic locations such as Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico. The announcement coincided with an Emmy win for the series, which is now in its 29th season, and will premiere on September 16. Trump previously signed an executive order in August to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America and declared that the Gulf of Mexico be known as the Gulf of America, which has been met with criticism from Mexico regarding the legality of renaming shared bodies of water.
In response to Donald Trump's attempts to rename various geographic locations using "America," the creators of South Park have officially changed the show's title to "South America" for its 29th season, highlighting their satirical take on the situation. The announcement was made in a statement that expressed gratitude toward parent company Paramount Skydance, which is set to become a major media player after a $111 billion merger with Warner Bros Discovery. The new season of "South America" is scheduled to premiere on September 16 and will be available for streaming globally on Paramount+.
