Parker doesn't know when South Park will end

Matt Stone and Trey Parker mastered the art of quickly creating "South Park" installments, and they have the process down to a science. A 2011 documentary dedicated to the behind-the-scenes workings of the animated show reveals it only takes six days for the creative team to complete an episode. Since "South Park" has officially been renewed through 2027, Parker is done speculating on when the curtain will fall on Kyle, Stan, Cartman, Kenny, and the other characters who make the series a must-see.

"If there is anything I've learned after 25 years, it's not to answer that question because I've had a lot of stupid — I had someone show me a magazine where I said at 32, 'There's no way I'm going to be doing 'South Park' when I'm 40. That would be lame,'" Parker said during his 2021 interview with People. "So, we take everything a show at a time and a week at a time. And that has always been best."

Those "best" weekly efforts to bring "South Park" to life certainly paid off. Consequently, the show has been recognized as the best animated series since "The Simpsons" premiered in 1989 by IMDb. At the time of this writing, fans give the series an overall audience score of 87%. In addition, the creators of those colorful Colorado kids have waved their comedy wand and conjured up a total of four Emmy Awards since 2005.
