South Park wrapped up its 21st season last December, and now Comedy Central has revealed when viewers can expect to see the next batch of episodes from Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Comedy Central has set September 26 as the date the show will return for a 22nd season.

Ahead of time, the network will build hype for the show with a pair of activations at San Diego Comic-Con, which runs from July 19 to 22. The details of both "Cartman's Escape Room" and "South Park's Member Berries Challenge" can be found below.

South Park's 21st season took aim at Kendrick Lamar, Logic, Harvey Weinstein and nursing home oppression, among many other cultural figures and events.

Cartman's Escape Room

Trapped! Caught in another one of Cartman's schemes, fans will now enter the most impossible to escape place ever invented. Ten South Park fans will have a limited amount of time solve a series of puzzles using what they know about South Park to free themselves … before it's too late. This new South Park activation is free and open to the public at the San Diego Wine Center, across from the Convention Center, from 9:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, July 19-21 and 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, July 22.

South Park's Member Berries Challenge

Held at booth #23729 in the Convention Center, it will transport fans into a 3D replica scene from the iconic "Member Berries" episode. While joining Randy at the Marsh family dinner table, fans will take the Member Berries Challenge – where they will be asked three South Park trivia questions as they sit in Sharon and Shelly's seats. If the fan answers all three correctly, he or she will walk away clean and be rewarded with their very own limited-edition Member Berry. However, if a fan answers incorrectly, Member Berry juice will spew out of Randy's mouth on to the losing player! Ponchos and protective glasses will be available. In addition to the Member Berries Challenge, fans will also get the opportunity to jump in to other iconic scenes from the series and play other South Park-themed games.
