Warning: Spoilers ahead for South Park: Post Covid Part 1!

South Park: Post Covid Part 1’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are back to finish what they started, with a conclusion to the irreverent pandemic saga in the form of South Park: Post Covid Part 2. While the notorious and hilarious animated comedy series has branched out to feature films before, Post Covid Part 2 promises to heighten everything great about the first installment. As a result, audiences everywhere are anticipating a successful follow-up.

Set 40 years after the events of the show, South Park: Post Covid Part 1 tells the story of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite having moved away from South Park, Stan is summoned back to the town after the death of Kenny McCormick, who had enjoyed a successful career as a physicist. After receiving a message that some of Kenny's missing research holds the key to unlocking the origins of the outbreak, the iconic central trio attempt to travel back in time to fix their broken friendship and ultimately change the future.

South Park: Post Covid Part 1 ends on something of a cliffhanger, with Cartman confessing to his future family that he does not want to lose them thanks to past meddling, suggesting he could sabotage the mission. This suggests that, whatever the precise plot of South Park: Post Covid Part 2, Cartman will once again be at odds with Stan and Kyle as they attempt to fix things. However, ahead of the sequel's release, any potential plot speculation remains pure conjecture. Here's what is known about South Park: Post Covid Part 2.

South Park: Post Covid Part 2 Will Release in December 2021

South Park: Post Covid Part 2 has been confirmed to release sometime in December 2021. While this isn’t a lot to go off of, it does create a lot of tension; the movie could drop any day. However, it is possible that the film will be available near the holidays, as Post Covid Part 1 was released early in the morning on Thanksgiving.

Where South Park: Post Covid Part 2 Will Be Streaming Online

Though South Park’s episodes are available on a variety of streaming services, the new movies are not as widely distributed. As with the first installment, South Park: Post Covid Part 2 will be available exclusively on Paramount+, a huge draw for the network. Happily, Paramount+ offers a thirty-day free trial of its services; it may be a good investment to pick up the service, however, as South Park has set itself up for many more installments.

South Park: Post Covid Part 2’s Story: How Part 1’s Ending Setup a Sequel

In South Park: Post Covid Part 1, the core friends, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick, have been separated for forty years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In learning that Kenny died searching for a solution to the pandemic, they recover his flash driving explaining how he time-traveled in order to save their friendship as well as the world. However, Eric's confession that he prefers the world as it is means that the conflict between Stan and Kyle and Eric is likely key to the plot of Post Covid Part 2. Additionally, earlier in South Park: Post Covid Part 1, it was revealed that Kenny’s last remaining colleague was still alive, although being isolated in a mental hospital. This colleague, named Victor Chouse, was implied at the end of the film to be Professor Victor Chaos, the alter identity of the friends’ occasional alternate member, Butters Scotch. Presumably, this means that Butters, as Professor Chaos, will be an important figure in the sequel.

How Many More South Park Movies Will Release on Paramount+ Post Covid 2

Much more South Park is yet to come, especially to Paramount+. Parker and Stone have a deal to create and release twelve more South Park movies on Paramount+, as well as extending the current series through 2027, for a total of thirty seasons. Audiences are sure to be thrilled by the prospect of six more years of South Park content. With its limitless potential, the show is certain to bring even funnier, wilder antics to streaming in the years after South Park: Post Covid Part 2.
