‘South Park’ returns with Peter Thiel playing ‘antichrist expert’ in episode targeting Trump and Satan

‘South Park’ Season 28 begins October 15 on Comedy Central, with episodes streaming later on Paramount+

South Park returned for its 28th season with a typically provocative storyline featuring President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and political activist Peter Thiel.

The premiere, titled “Twisted Christian,” saw Thiel portrayed as an “antichrist expert” recruited to confront a bizarre crisis — Satan’s pregnancy with Trump’s child.

The episode continued directly from last season’s finale, in which the infernal pregnancy was first revealed. Vance, anxious about his political future, sought Thiel’s help to eliminate the unborn “antichrist,” while Trump himself was equally frustrated that the situation prevented him from pursuing his demonic romance.

Thiel’s arrival in South Park coincided with Cartman’s obsession over a cryptic “6-7 joke,” a supposed piece of satanic numerology that caused him uncontrollable vomiting. Drawing comparisons to The Exorcist, Thiel attempted to decode the meaning behind Cartman’s strange behaviour, declaring, “Your son is the key to saving our country, Miss Cartman.” Despite his efforts, the exorcism failed, prompting Thiel to take Cartman to Washington D.C.

In a parallel storyline, Vance persuaded Trump to visit a Planned Parenthood clinic to discuss aborting Satan’s child, leading to one of the episode’s most absurd moments.

Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone used the script to mock Thiel’s real-life reputation, referencing past remarks where he allegedly called climate activist Greta Thunberg a “legionnaire of the antichrist.”

Comedy Central confirmed that “Twisted Christian” marks the start of Season 28, following last month’s “Conflict of Interest.” Upcoming episodes are scheduled for broadcast on October 29, November 12, November 26 and December 10. Viewers can stream past episodes on Paramount+.
