'South Park: Post-Covid' Special Teases Older Look At The Classic Characters

South Park has revealed a new special, set many years into the future as the COVID-19 pandemic is finally over and the town and everyone in it look much older.

With the first trailer dropping earlier today, fans appear to be very excited for the "Post Covid" special, as this is the first time seeing a major change done to the cast in quite some time, as well as a multitude of possibilities in relation to what easter eggs can be hidden throughout it.

What happened to the children who lived through the Pandemic? Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny survived but will never be the same Post Covid. Stream the Exclusive Event November 25 only on Paramount+.

Oh god they're old

The idea that so much time has passed during Covid that theyre basically adults now is kind of ingenious actuallyhttps://t.co/mvWiIdiJfj

Many people took inspiration from these older character models and began making their own fan art of their favorite characters, whether they were shown in the trailer or not. This has also led to meta jokes about the characters still being alive, and the conditions that they live in.
