South Park Debuts Season 29 as South America, Adding Trump Cameo

Summary
Season 29 opened Wednesday with the town rechristened “South America,” a new theme song and a Donald Trump cameo in the premiere “South American Biker Gangs.”
The episode follows Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny embracing e-bikes until Kenny is killed in an explosion, pushing the town to ban e-bikes and sell “South America Strong” T-shirts.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone had framed the rename earlier this month as a jab at Trump’s place-renaming moves, citing examples including “Lake America,” “New America” and the “Gulf of America.”
The rebrand extends the show’s recent anti-Trump streak after its 2026 Creative Arts Emmy win and a Season 28 run packed with political satire.
