In the new Season 27 episode of South Park titled "Wok Is Dead," the show culminates in a revelation that Satan is pregnant with President Donald Trump's child.
Newsweek reached out to Trump's representative for comment on Thursday via email outside regular working hours.
Why It Matters
The episode continues South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's long-standing practice of satirizing current politics and culture by placing political figures—here, President Donald Trump—in absurd, exaggerated scenarios that prompt discussion about media, policy and public discourse.

Prior to Season 27, which premiere on July 23, 2025, South Park was on hiatus for nearly two and a half years. The new episodes come after the show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, reached a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount.

What To Know
In "Wok Is Dead," kids at South Park Elementary fight over collectible Labubu dolls. Amid the chaos, a ritual involving the dolls summons demonic forces, leading to a surreal appearance by President Donald Trump alongside a pregnant Satan.
The episode links the Labubu craze to rising prices caused by tariff policy, portraying the cost spikes as a plot device that affects children and families in the story.
"We're together, we've been together for months," Satan said in the episode. "And I want to leave him, but I can't. Because I'm pregnant."
The screen then cuts to Jesus Christ looking shocked while holding a positive pregnancy test.
"So now you all know," Satan added. "I am forced to stay in this situation for several more years."
The Trump dig is the latest in a slew of jabs aimed at the U.S. President. During its premiere episode on July 23 titled "Sermon on the 'Mount," South Park depicted the 79-year-old lying in bed with Satan and insinuated that he wanted to have sex with him.
In a separate episode, Vice President JD Vance walked into Trump and Satan's bedroom and asked: "Would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan's a******, boss?"
What People Are Saying
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone in July: "The Left's hypocrisy truly has no end—for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as 'offense' [sic] content, but suddenly they are praising the show. Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history—and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak."
During a Comic-Con panel, South Park co-creator Trey Parker reacted to the White House's criticism of the season 27 premiere: "We're terribly sorry."
The Joe Rogan Experience podcast host, Joe Rogan, said of the season 27 premiere: "There's so much chaos. There's so much madness. It's f****** hilarious. They haven't given a f*** since the beginning, and it's the greatest show of all time."
What Happens Next
New episodes of South Park air Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on Comedy Central and are available to stream on Paramount+ the next day.
