South Park‘s latest episode will not air this week, with series creator’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone officially announcing the episode will be delayed.

Why is the new South Park episode delayed?

In a statement from Parker and Stone (via Variety), the duo said that the episode will be pushed back a week. As for why, the duo simply said that they didn’t finis it in time.

“Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don’t get it done,” the duo said. “This one’s on us. We didn’t get it done in time. Thanks to Comedy Central and South Park fans for being so understanding. Tune in next week!”

The new episode of South Park, which is now set to air next week, will be the first episode of the series following the death of Charlie Kirk. Following his death, South Park’s “Got a Nut” episode, which had jokes aimed at Kirk, was pulled from Comedy Central’s rerun schedule.

It’s currently unclear exactly what will happen in the new South Park episode or whether or not they’ll comment on Kirk’s death or their previous episode. The duo of Parker and Stone are no strangers to controversy, having already featured President Donald Trump and other political figures throughout the newest season.
