Animated comedy South Park said it will change its name to “South America” amid a series of name changes from the Trump administration, such as the Gulf of America and Lake America.
“Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA. We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount — a Skydance Capitulation,” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced on X Tuesday.
The show’s name has been updated on X, but has not changed on its website or on Paramount+.
The statement comes after the show’s Emmy win for Outstanding Animated Program, according to the X post.
A picture advertising the new season attached to the X post showed the iconic wooden South Park sign, but with what appears to be an evergreen road sign that says “AMERICA” nailed into the board where “Park” would be.
The show announced its Emmy win with a graphic of President Donald Trump with his pants and underwear down, holding the award.
Trump signed an executive order in August to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. And in 2025, he renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Trump has also recently teased changing New Mexico to “New America” in a Truth Social post.
Season 28 of South Park was riddled with attacks on the Trump administration, even portraying Trump in an intimate relationship with Satan, and showing Trump with a small penis.
Stone and Parker also quarreled with Trump-friendly company Skydance, which acquired Comedy Central’s parent network, Paramount, in 2025.
“This merger is a s***show and it’s f***ing up South Park,” they wrote on X, accusing the Skydance merger of delaying its season premiere from July 9, 2025, to July 23, 2025.

When the season premiered on July 23, Paramount released a statement, announcing an expansive five-year renewal of the show.
“South America” will release its 29th season at 10 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, Sept. 16, on Comedy Central.
