South Park Season 22 Premieres With A School Shooting Clip

Comedy Central

South Park is returning for its 22nd Season tonight, and the premiere is called Dead Kids. The new episode will tackle the recent school shootings in America but it looks like the show will also have a subplot focused on Cartman. The official synopsis reads, "As Randy struggled to help Sharon keep her emotions in check, Cartman dealt with the bane of every child's existence - math."

The promotional clip for the Season 22 episode has been released, and it features Stan's parents asking Stan about the shootings that occurred in his school. It looks like this episode will focus on a sensitive subject. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being as controversial as other South Park episodes we've seen in the past. I'm just glad that this series is still going.

Watch the clip above.

South Park's new episode will premiere tonight at 10 p.m. EST on Comedy Central.
