Reception
Screen Rant felt that the season was too short, saying that "it took quite a while for South Park season 25 to get going. Some of the earlier episodes, such as 'Pajama Day', felt like they were going through the motions with their COVID-related satire, and by the time the season did get going with a pair of Butters-centric episodes touching upon cancel culture and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the season was already over. Without more episodes to properly develop and marinate character-specific plot threads and the brilliant current events satire that came with them, South Park's latest season, unfortunately, didn't tell a complete and satisfying story."[18]
Home media
The season was released on Blu-ray and DVD on April 4, 2023.[19]
