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

Matt and trey are 30 years into south park and can't go at the same pace anymore, we get shorter seasons and a few specials a year instead which is probably better for them and the team and I think has brought a new life into the series with them being able to do much more complicated specials we would have never seen in a normal series.

It also allows them to expand into other media and ventures, they have talked about being so dead after finishing the movie then going straight back into South park and the same when they did the book of Mormon, the video games etc. This way they get to do their own stuff, like casa Bonita, and we still get regular south park while Matt and trey aren't loosing sleep over deadlines.

It's all about quality over quantity, south park is back to it's best after a few rough seasons, just be happy we get new episodes after 30 years and it's not like the Simpsons where they should have finished 10 years into making the show.
