After a hiatus that began on December 2013, 'South Park' returns to the small screen for its Season 18 premiere on September 24, for a promised 10 new episodes.

This time, the long-running and quite explicit cartoon is teaming up with streaming website, Hulu. All of the previous South Park seasons will be available for viewing on the site.

Hulu Plus subscribers will get to watch the new episodes a day after the official airing on Comedy Central, according to Hollywod Reporter.

South Park Season 17 ended with a "Black Friday" special, proof that Trey Stone and Matt Parker still has a firm grasp of their craft after all these years.

The Black Friday trilogy episodes in Season 17 even earned an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour).

Trey Stone commented on the partnership between the acclaimed cartoon and Hulu, saying that the availability of the episodes since the first one will help recall history to new and future South Park fans.

"We have 247 episodes now, so we've got plenty to feed different windows and different experiences.

"Content came out of its hole, saw its shadow and ran back to the hole for protection. What we do is expensive, it takes a lot of people, and it makes sense to put it through windows in a way that produces a lot of value. We do what we do because we act like we own the staff and try to surf whatever wave is out there," Stone told New York Times in an interview.
