Just curious if anyone knows why it’s only been 6 episodes a season. Are the showrunners losing interest and moving on?

Yeah it still funny how Comedy Central didn't just buy them out and the show.

But shorter seasons are because of the streaming deals and the two specials every year (which they might even miss this year) which is a shame as the show has suffered for it

Comedy Central didn't just buy them out and the show.

they SAVED comedy central. It was a nothing channel until South Park.

I think the issue is that Matt and Trey are desperately tired of doing South Park but they're getting thrown such obscene levels of cash to pump out half an episode every few months that they just can't.

After 20 or 30 years it must be so boring to keep doing the same shit. Hell the ad campaign for season 20-ish was "Cancel South Park"

All CC has is new south park

Everything else is reruns and that also includes south park.

South park, Seinfeld and Parks and Rec reruns is 90%+ of CC

And The Office. With Trevor Noah leaving TDS, it took away a huge anchor they had, and unless they find someone who can make the show their and make it as good as Jon Stewart, John Oliver or Trevor made it, then they're gonna play hell keeping it as a solid draw. He'll, I used to never miss it, now I've been ambivalent about catching it at the regular time, I'll just watch it later streaming.
