South Park‘s next original episode will debut on Friday with a dose of Halloween, this time taking on Donald Trump‘s demolition of the East Wing of the White House last week.
The logline for the Comedy Central series episode “The Woman In The Hat”: “The White House deals with a disruptive spirit from the East Wing. While Stan worries that South Park has become too political.”
A photo from Comedy Central shows Trump and Satan surveying the debris of the East Wing, which was abruptly torn down to make room for a $300 million ballroom, financed by donations from companies including Comcast, Amazon and Meta.
South Park has been scathing in its satire of Trump throughout the season, generating a dismissive putdown from the actual White House. Other photos from the next episode show the return of Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security.
The latest episode will premiere at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Comedy Central said additional new episodes are planned for Nov. 12, Nov. 26 and Dec. 10.
It wasn’t just the East Wing that was destroyed. Bulldozers also plowed through the East Colonnade, which connected the East Wing to the executive residence. The long corridor included the White House Family Theater, where screenings of major releases have been shown since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency. Also demolished was the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, named for the former first lady.
The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that the Trump administration has fired members of the Commission on Fine Arts, an independent agency that has advised the president, Congress and local governments on the design of the Capital. Trump appointees already have control of another commission that reviews projects, the National Capital Planning Commission.
