South Park Season 29 is currently on a biweekly release schedule with Comedy Central this Fall, and the second episode of the season is going to be hitting on Wednesday, September 30th as part of this changed schedule. The first look trailer for the episode has been revealed, and teases Butters going up against billionaires and data centers in his first big story of the season. You can check it out below.

When Does South Park Season 29 Episode 2 Come Out?

South Park Season 29 Episode 2 will be making its debut on Wednesday, September 30th at 10PM ET/PT with Comedy Central, and will be made available for streaming exclusively with Paramount+ the next day. Titled “BILLIONAIRE WEENIETOWN,” the synopsis also puts Butters front and center with, “Butters is unhappy with the data centers that the billionaires are building in our backyards.” Which is a great sign of what’s to come as this new series seemingly is going to continue the shift away from all of its stories and episodes focusing on United States President Donald Trump seen last year.

South Park Season 29 kicked off with a promising premiere that not only returned the focus of the series back on the town and the core four boys with its story, but it used present day events as more of the thematic dressing for the rest of the plot itself. Rather than being dominated by the new characters and stories seen last year, the show has renewed its focus where fans want it to be. And with Butters leading the charge on this next episode, it’s likely going to follow suit in the same way.

What’s Next for South America Season 29?

Ahead of South Park‘s return for Season 29, it was announced by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone that the animated series would be changing its name to “South America.” This was a stunt that resulted in a full change for the series’ name, theme song, official website and even characters are using this new name matter-of-factly to reference the town on a whole. This stunt drove a lot of fans to check out the new premiere episode, and thankfully it seems like the name change won’t be dominating the show too much either.

Because the name change is just likely going to be developing in the background, it means each episode can instead focus on a new story impacting the town. With South Park Season 29 now tackling the rise of data centers in small towns like it, we’ll have to see what Butters has to say about the whole thing.
