Perhaps the South Park creators feel that they’re too busy to craft new episodes because the show has gone on for so long, especially as they round the corner on the 26th season of the hit Comedy Central original.
After all, Matt and Trey have previously explained that they began production of the show identifying with the core children characters, and have since grown enough to tell their stories through the adult residents of the fictional Colorado mountain town.
Maybe by the time their Paramount+ deal comes to a close in 2027, South Park will be down to 1 episode per season, and consist mostly of stories centered around Stan’s grandpa.
