Some changes are being made over at South Park. Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker recently revealed that, instead of splitting each season into two halves of 7 episodes that air in the spring and fall, the upcoming 17th season will air as one batch of 10 episodes, Collider said.

Though the change reduces the episode number from 14 per season to 10, the creators said that this allows them more time to devote to other things rather than having to work on South Park for two grueling, separate batches of 7 weeks out of the year.

Speaking with the New York Times, Stone and Parker revealed that when season 17 debuts on September 25th, it will run straight through for 10 episodes. Stone said that the change wasn’t made for any one particular reason.
