South Park rebrands as South America in Trump satire

In the United States, the animated series South Park announced a name change to South America on September 8, 2026. This satirical move by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone was a response to President Donald Trump's executive order renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America. The creators expressed inspiration from tech companies like Apple and Google, which altered their maps to reflect the changes. The announcement coincided with the show's Season 29 premiere, continuing its tradition of political satire.
