After a week off the air, the R-rated animated comedy is charging back into the fray to continue its merciless mockery of the incumbent president and his administration. Catch it now with our guide explaining how to watch “South Park” season 27 episode 2 online from anywhere with a VPN.
‘South Park’ season 27 episode 2: date, time, channel and streaming options

Despite bungled contract negotiations repeatedly curbing the season 27 premiere, “South Park” returned all guns blazing with their roast of Donald Trump.
In fact, he’s unequivocally ridiculed in “Sermon on the Mount”: depicted as a shrill, “tin pot dictator” in the 1999 “South Park” movie, and a literal bedfellow of Satan. The episode also addresses Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount Global (who currently own “South Park”) for $16 million, and show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone don't shy away from criticising the media conglomerate itself.
Needless to say, the White House's response wasn’t complimentary. They released a statement declaring that the show was "uninspired" and “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years.” Well, they might want to look away now. Because Parker and Stone are doubling-down on the ridicule in their sophomore assault, with Satan fending off advances from Trump at a black tie dinner and Mr Mackey going on a gun-toting ride along with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in the episode 2 preview.

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching "South Park" season 27 on your usual subscription?
You can still watch the special thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. Ideal when you're away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN – and you can find out why in our NordVPN review.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're visiting the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Fire up your website or streaming service of choice and tune in just as you would at home.
