How to watch South Park: The End of Obesity – when is it available in the UK?
The episode sees Cartman and the gang drawn in by a new craze.
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are never far behind the zeitgeist and now they're wading into another hot topic with their latest special, The End of Obesity.
The extended episode will tackle the debate around weight loss medication, with plus-sized character Eric Cartman (Parker) advised by his doctor to take "drastic measures" to become slimmer (as seen in the teaser trailer).
With so many headlines on the topic in recent months, it was only a matter of time until it became the target of South Park's satirical eye – here's when you can expect Parker and Stone's unique commentary in The End of Obesity.
