South Park will return for its 24th season at the end of this month, and to kick the whole thing off, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have lined up an hour-long "Pandemic Special."

Airing September 30 at 8 p.m. ET on Comedy Central, "The Pandemic Special" will find Randy Marsh coming to terms with his role in the COVID-19 outbreak as the pandemic upends the titular community. As a short trailer shows, these "2020 Problems" include Cartman conflating school and slavery, while Detective Yates takes over the kids' home room class.

Last September, South Park was renewed through Season 26 by Comedy Central. The show's 23rd season wrapped in December 2019.
