South Park was not canceled, but the fifth episode of season 27 was abruptly canceled just hours before airing because the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, did not finish the episode in time. They apologized and said, "this one's on us," explaining that sometimes when everything is done at the last minute, it doesn’t get finished. The episode will air the following week, and the season will continue with bi-weekly episodes through December 10. There is also no indication that South Park has been canceled after season 27; a new deal with Paramount guarantees more episodes and streaming availability of past seasons.
