South Park Season Premiere To Include School Shooting

By Meruelo Media Sep 24, 2018 | 2:10 PM

If you’ve seen #cancelsouthpark trending on social media and were confused, here’s whats going on. The 22nd season of South Park is premiering this Wednesday, September 26, at 10 p.m. and the first episode features—yes, a school shooting. And as you can imagine, the topic isn’t going over great with some people. Check out some of these tweets using the trending hashtag:

South Park is going to address the normalcy of school shootings in the premiere episode of season 22, the title of the episode is “Dead Kids”. The episode has a description that reads “Randy is desperate to help Sharon get her emotions under control and Cartman unexpectedly fails his math test.” You wouldn’t be able to gather what the episode is about just reading that, but if you take a look at the teaser you can start to understand where the #CancelSouthPark approach came from. The past few seasons haven’t shyed away from touching on politics, with Mr. Garrison becoming a Trump-like figure and last season ending with Garrison dropping a nuke on Canada. Check out the full preview below:
