“South Park” is no more. Long live “South America.”

Ahead of the premiere of the show’s 29th Season, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have announced they are changing the name of the series.

“Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of ‘South Park’ to ‘South America,'” the pair shared in a statement. “We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount — a Skydance Capitulation.”
