The last episode of "South Park" season 20 was entitled, "The End of Serialization As We Know It." That episode was considered controversial because of the portrayal of the then ongoing US presidential election. But despite the controversy, Comedy Central has recently announced that it will resume the show's broadcast up through season 23.
The Show Will Have Two Additional Seasons
Therefore, it is confirmed that "South Park" season 21 is renewed, and the show will have an additional two seasons more. There were various criticism and comments at the end of the show's season 20. Some of the critics felt that this season 'was a failure." That was actually part of the headline of an Esquire review.
The critics of "South Park" season 20 believe that the show has "glimmers of brilliance" that were never realized, and the show was full of "half-thoughts." But the show earned praises with some critics. They thought that it is one of the best shows ever made. It could not be denied that the TV series was able to present the US presidency under Trump and the harms of trolling. The show is characterized by its flexibility, unpredictability and its readiness to experiment on controversial topics.
The Deal Has Been Sealed Over A Year Ago
But fans who are eagerly waiting for "South Park" season 20 should not even be surprised that in Comedy Central will continue the show. If they will only remember what was announced before on July 8, 2015.
