After a big jump in on-air ratings for the Aug. 6 episode, the Comedy Central show's cross-platform numbers also improved on the season 27 premiere. Over three days of streaming and other delayed viewing on Paramount+ and Comedy Central, the episode brought in 6.2 million viewers, Paramount Skydance says, based on Nielsen numbers and internal streaming data. That's up about 5 percent from the 5.9 million people who watched the season 27 premiere over three days. South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a rich new deal with Paramount just ahead of the season, which gave the show a next-day streaming outlet for the first time. That has helped boost the show's cross-platform viewing significantly.
