Sparks are set to fly after Donald Trump sits down to watch the season 27 premiere of South Park, that sees the president in bed with the Devil.

You might want to look away now, Donald Trump.

South Park kicked off its 27th season on Wednesday night with an episode that expectedly took aim at the US President in a series of X-rated gags, one that saw him in bed with the literal devil.

The episode, which aired hours after South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a new five-year overall deal with Paramount, addressed the network giant’s recent dealings with Mr Trump that saw him receive a $16m settlement, among other issues.

One clip shows the president complaining about the size of his manhood in an official painting.

He then goes to his bedroom, undresses and gets into bed with Satan, suggesting he wants to have sex.

“Come on Satan, I’ve been working hard all day,” begs South Park’s depiction of Mr Trump.

“You haven’t been working! You’ve been doing your stupid memes and just f**cking around,” replies Satan.

The character then insists, saying: “Come on Satan, you know you can’t resist this!” before pulling down the duvet and revealing a comically small penis.

“I can’t even see anything, it’s so small,” laughs Satan in response.

During the same scene, Satan confronts the Trump character over rumours that his name appears on the notorious, and disputed, “Epstein list.”

“It’s weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax,” Satan says, adding that the Trump character reminds him a lot of someone else he used to date.

In South Park’s first movie, released back in 1999, Satan is seen in a romance with late dictator Saddam Hussein.

Fans rushed to remark on the episode, with one tweeting: “Trump’s meltdown coming in 3… 2… 1…”

Another joked: “I think Paramount paid Trump ahead of time knowing this sh*t was going to drop.”

While a third laughed: “Oh, lawsuit incoming!”

Near the end of the episode, a scene also shows Jesus pleading with townsfolk to stop messing with Trump following the controversial cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

As a result of his pleading, and in a move that echoes Paramount’s settlement with the president, the town settles Trump’s lawsuit with them for $3.5m, before also agreeing to also produce pro-Trump material.

The release of the episode came hours after South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a new five-year overall deal with Paramount that is thought to be worth more than a billion dollars.

That deal followed a behind the scenes legal battle between creators Park County, Paramount Global and Skydance, the latter of which is set to take control of Paramount in just a few weeks.

Paramount, the parent company of CBS, is on the brink of merging with media company Skydance in coming months, but the merger has been plagued by controversy after Trump’s defamation lawsuit last year, in which he accused CBS’s 60 Minutes of broadcasting a misleading interview with Kamala Harris before he was elected president for a second time.

“This merger is a shitshow and it’s f**king up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes, and we hope the fans get to see them somehow,” Parker and Stone wrote in a social media post on July 2, after Comedy Central announced that the season 27 premiere had been pushed back.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, in June the duo also threatened legal action against incoming Paramount president Jeff Shell for allegedly interfering in contract negotiations with potential streamers, such as Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix.

But the high-stakes negotiations were soon back on track, with Paramount agreeing to a five-year term rather than a 10-year deal proposed by Parker and Stone. Skydance signed off on the transaction.

South Park first debuted on 1997 and has since released more than 300 episodes.

The series has also won a slew of awards, including five Emmys for Outstanding Animated Program.
