What is South Park: The End of Obesity about?
The long-running sitcom will tackle weight loss drugs and their impact on people (they’re not going to take things seriously, of course) in its new exclusive event The End of Obesity.
FeaturedAs per the official synopsis, “the advent of new weight-loss drugs impacting everyone in South Park. When Cartman is denied access to the life-changing medicine, the kids jump into action.”
Paramount+ has also released the official trailer for the new exclusive event, which shows an overweight Cartman being taken to the doctor, who went on to say that drastic measures are now required to reduce his weight.
And by drastic the doctor meant weight loss drugs like Omezpic. But there’s a much bigger problem – Cartman can’t get his hands on these new drugs so the gang is set to do something even more dangerous, which, of course, only makes them want to do it more.
Produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and written and directed by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park: End of Obesity streaming on Paramount+ from May 25. It’ll be fun.
