South Park’s 19th season headlines Comedy Central fall schedule

By Adam Poltrack Published July 28, 2015

Comedy Central has announced its Fall lineup with South Park’s 19th season at the top of the marquee. A long-time tentpole for the network, the show was recently locked up through 2020 in a contract that will carry it through its 23rd (!) season.

Season 19 will premiere Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 10:00 P.M. and Coming Soon reports that it will include 10 episodes. You know the drill here, the show’s formula is tried and true and you can expect more of the same vulgarity, irreverence, and skewering of each week’s most controversial issues you’ve grown to know and love.

While one Comedy Central fixture is staying the course, however, another will see a giant shakeup. Jon Stewart took over The Daily Show in 1999 and has guided the satirical news program to glory over more than sixteen years, but he’ll soon relinquish his anchor chair to comedian Trevor Noah. The South Africa native will step into what might be TV’s hardest-to-fill shoes on Monday, September 28, 2015.

Here’s the rundown on the rest of the Fall schedule:

Moonbeam City, an absurdist, animated 80’s cop comedy, will air its series debut on Wednesday, September 16, 2015 and features voice acting from Rob Lowe and Elizabeth Banks.

The second season of TripTank, a compendium of animated comedy shorts, will premiere Wednesday September 23, 2015 and features voice acting from Amy Schumer, and Andrew Dice Clay.

Season 3 of Nathan For You, a reality series that chronicles the exploits of unorthodox small-business savior Nathan Fielder, will premiere Thursday, October 15, 2015.

The following Stand-up specials are upcoming: Steve Rannazzisi: Breaking Dad, Saturday, September 19 at 11:00 p.m; Brian Regan: Live Saturday, September 26 at 9:00 p.m.; Trevor Noah Stand-up Special (premiere date and title TBA).

Premieres for the following Short-Form series are still TBA: Six Guys One Car (Season 2); New Timers (Season 2); White Flight (Season 1); Alternatino (Season 1); Lucky Loser (Season 1).

Note that another Comedy Central mainstay is also conspicuously absent from the list: Key and Peele, the hilarious sketch comedy show from Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele which has been on the docket since 2012, will wrap its 5th and final season this summer. The duo decided to close up shop to pursue other avenues, though they’ll continue to collaborate on movies and other projects.

With the departure of Stewart, Comedy Central will lose a proverbial “big bat” in the middle of its lineup, while also saying good bye to other key players (no pun intended).We’ll have to wait and see if the network’s fall slate can make up for the absentees, but the boys from South Park should help keep things afloat in the transition.

Don’t let these 3 hidden March 2025 streaming TV shows fly under your radar

A group of well-dressed people crowd by a doorway, looking shocked in The Residence.

Every month, there's always one, maybe two, new shows that get all the attention. Sometimes, it's a popular show returning with a new season. This March, many less high-profile shows are flying under the radar. You might have heard of these shows but weren't quite sure what they were about or even if they're worth watching.
We suspect that you'll be pleasantly surprised if you give any of these shows your time. Check out an episode or two, and it will likely lead to binging the whole thing. Two of the three series release all season one episodes at once, while the third will tease you with the first two episodes this month. What are these three hidden March 2025 streaming TV shows you shouldn't let fly under your radar? Have a look.

Deli Boys (March 6)
Deli Boys | Official Trailer | Hulu
Already receiving rave reviews, Deli Boys is a hilarious comedy about two Pakistani American brothers, Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Saagar Shaikh), who discover that their father was much more than a convenience store owner. When he suddenly passes, the brothers discover that dear Dad was actually embroiled in a life of crime.
If they don’t want to lose everything their family has worked for, they need to take over as the new crime bosses. But this is not a life they know anything about. As one of the most anticipated Hulu shows of 2025, Deli Boys’ first season delights thanks to its clever one-liners, talented cast, and bizarre storylines.
Stream Deli Boys on Hulu.
The Residence (March 20)
The Residence | Official Trailer | Netflix
The best way to describe The Residence is that it's like Knives Out in the White House with a gender-swapped Benoit Blanc-like character. The lead is Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba), an equally eccentric yet brilliant detective who consults with the local police. When the White House chief usher, A.B. Wynter (Giancarlo Esposito in a role that was originally supposed to be played by the late Andre Braugher), winds up dead, she’s called in to investigate. A state dinner is going on downstairs with officials from Australia, and Cupp orders that no one leave until she questions all 140+ people present.
The Residence is plenty of fun, mixing the usual whodunit formula with Shonda Rhimes' unique creative flair that will keep you guessing from one episode, even a moment, to the next. Aduba is perfect as Cupp, who combines an oddball personality — including repeatedly birdwatching in the middle of a murder case — with a subtle sarcasm. Through it all, however, she throws down astute observations that teach everyone she knows exactly what she’s doing, even if it doesn’t look like it. If you love the whodunit genre, The Residence won’t disappoint.

Stream The Residence on Netflix.
The Studio (March 26)
The Studio — Official Trailer | Apple TV+
One of Apple TV+’s quieter new show releases is The Studio, which has gotten overwhelmingly positive reception in early reviews. Seth Rogen created and stars in this comedy as Matt Remick, a man who longs to run a Hollywood studio. When he finally realizes this dream, however, the reality of the complicated balancing act of managing budgets, changing economic and societal times, corporate demands, and eccentric actors sinks in.
The Studio has an incredible cast that includes Catherine O’Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Kathryn Hahn. There's also a rotating selection of guest stars playing exaggerated versions of themselves to add to the Hollywood feel, from Zac Efron to Martin Scorsese. Early reviews already give The Studio a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, with Slant Magazine’s Ross McIndoe singling out the dark and “more than a little pointed” comedy as the highlight.

3 PBS shows you should watch in March 2025

three pbs shows you should watch in march 2025 call the midwife season 14 tv hero 2

PBS may not be able to boast a lineup of original shows like Netflix and the other streamers, but it's been America's gateway for British dramas for decades. Granted, some of these shows will show up on the streamers as well. The key difference is that PBS won't charge you to watch them, and you can even stream them online if you don't want to support your local station.

This month's picks include two returning British dramas, one of which had almost a full decade between seasons. Our other pick is a returning murder mystery show from Sweden, which proves just how universally popular that genre has turned out to be.
