The beloved and highly popular show South Park sparked intense speculation over its future following a highly controversial premiere of its 27th season. Episode one, which aired on July 23, featured a graphic and satirical portrayal of US President Donald Trump, including a scene where he is shown in bed with Satan.
The backlash was swift. Critics from both sides of the political spectrum weighed in, with the White House issuing a strong response. A spokesperson described the long-running animated series as a 'fourth-rate show' and accused the creators of making a 'desperate attempt for attention.'
