South Park’s new Wednesday night episode will highlight the crypto-backed prediction market system, weeks after featuring President Donald Trump and conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

• South Park’s next episode, “Conflict of Interest,” focuses on a prediction market app overtaking the children’s school.
• Prediction markets such as Myriad and Polymarket enable users to bet on exact words or topics appearing in the broadcast scheduled tonight.
• The current South Park season has drawn criticism for its portrayals of Charlie Kirk and President Donald Trump.

South Park Targets Prediction Markets in New Episode

In a season packed with timely and disputed subjects, South Park now directs attention toward prediction markets. Comedy Central announced today that the upcoming Wednesday night episode of the long-running series will show prediction markets becoming increasingly popular among younger audiences. The story, titled “Conflict of Interest,” highlights the conflict between Cartman and Kyle after a prediction market app seizes control of their school environment.

Crypto-supported prediction markets are already creating wagers on tonight’s script, showing immediate real-world alignment with the episode’s theme. A Myriad prediction market currently lists 31.7% odds that the show names a real platform, Myriad, Polymarket, or Kalshi, with $11,400 wagered. (Note: Myriad belongs to Decrypt’s parent company, DASTAN). On Polymarket, traders bet on specific word counts, including “predict” or “prediction” 10 times or more (71% odds), “Broncos” (49% odds), “Trump” three times or more (45% odds), and “dildo” (55% odds).

Crypto Betting Odds on South Park’s Next Episode

Although cryptocurrency powers both Polymarket and Myriad, markets currently give only 31% odds that South Park will mention “crypto” or “Bitcoin” tonight, with $2,000 total trade volume. Comedy Central photos confirm the new South Park episode continues a fictional storyline involving President Trump’s relationship with Satan and a supposed impregnation. During its 28-year history, South Park has often tested boundaries, yet its portrayals of the Trump administration now receive focused attention amid growing disputes between major broadcasters and the White House on speech.

Last week, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night program indefinitely after Trump’s FTC head threatened the network’s license following remarks Kimmel made about the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk. The show resumed on Tuesday, though regional broadcasters withheld it. Paramount, owner of Comedy Central, attempted to reduce political conflict by removing an earlier South Park episode mocking Kirk’s public appearances shortly after his death. Prediction platform Kalshi currently lists only 7% odds that South Park could face full cancellation in today’s political climate.
