At a glance
- South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced that the show would be called SOUTH AMERICA for the launch of its 29th season.
- The parody follows Donald Trump's efforts to rename geographic features, including the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.
- The creators did not say whether the new title would be permanent or apply only to the season's first episode.
South Park is taking another swipe at Donald Trump, this time by announcing a new name for itself: SOUTH AMERICA.
The creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, made the announcement on X ahead of the 29th season's premiere. โInspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, weโre changing the name of South Park to South America,โ they wrote.
They did not explain whether the change would last or refer only to the first episode of the new season. The series is expected to continue its parodies of the U.S. president, whom it has repeatedly featured in recent episodes.
Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, weโre changing the name of South Park to South America.
The joke follows Trump's own renaming campaigns. He signed an executive order in late August changing Lake Ontario to Lake America, and he has already renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. On Sunday, he posted a map of New Mexico labeled โNew Americaโ on Truth Social.
This marked the show's second reference to Trump in less than a week. After South Park won the Emmy for best animated program on Sept. 6, the creators posted an image of their animated Trump holding the award with the message: โYou finally got your Emmy.โ The show's 2025 season portrayed Trump as a villain in a romantic relationship with Satan.
You finally got your Emmy.
