Which 2024 South Park special is listed as the seventh television special?

The story behind the answer

The End of Obesity is the 2024 South Park special listed as the series’ seventh television special. It premiered on Paramount+ on May 24, 2024, and is also counted as the 328th episode of South Park overall.

The special centers on Eric Cartman’s attempt to obtain semaglutide-based weight-loss medication after a doctor warns that his obesity threatens his health. The story satirizes the popularity and glamorization of drugs such as Ozempic, the American health-insurance system, fat shaming, and the commercial interests surrounding sugary foods.

The title also connects to the special’s broader parody of body-positivity culture: Lizzo is presented as an alternative after Cartman cannot afford the medication. Meanwhile, Randy Marsh becomes involved in a semaglutide-sharing scheme with local mothers. Viewers sometimes confuse this entry with Post COVID or The Streaming Wars, which are earlier Paramount+ specials. The End of Obesity follows South Park (Not Suitable for Children) in the special sequence.
