TMDB Season Synopsis: "Join Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny as they deal the vaping epidemic, Cartman’s anxiety disorder, and the fact that they didn't take the threat of ManBearPig "cereal" enough the first time around. For them, it’s all part of growing up in South Park!"
Source [1]: General overview of the show (four boys, one f**ked-up town, misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers).
Source [2]: Mentions Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny as four animated tykes taking on the supernatural, extraordinary, and insane.
