It's been airing for 26 seasons since 1997, but it appears there is no slowing down for Trey Parker and Matt Stone's hit animated comedy series South Park, which revolves around the adventures of Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick.
While the show aired its latest season earlier this year, specials have also started being produced, with the first two airing in 2021 followed by two more in 2022.
Now, the show's fifth special, called Joining the Panderverse, is arriving, marking the 326th episode of the series overall. But with the previous season having aired in the UK on Comedy Central, how can fans watch this new instalment, and when?

Thankfully for fans in the UK, they won't have to wait too long after the US debut for the special to arrive here.
The special will officially premiere on Paramount+ in the UK on Saturday 28th October 2023, just a day after it arrives in the US, meaning fans will get to watch it before the end of the month.

What is South Park: Joining the Panderverse about?
From the trailer which has been released, the special appears to be playing around with the multiverse concept, with many of the central characters having seemingly been transformed into women.
The official synopsis for the special says: "Cartman’s deeply disturbing dreams portend the end of the life he knows and loves. The adults in South Park are also wrestling with their own life decisions as the advent of AI is turning their world upside down."
