UPDATE: Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick are set to come back on "South Park" season 19 premiere on Sept. 16.  

Comedy Central's adult animated sitcom "South Park" is going bilingual. Spanish fans of the hit series may now enjoy its first 18 seasons in their mother tongue.

Released on April 16, "South Park" seasons 1-18 may now be watched in Spanish through South Park Studios, the official website of the Comedy Central series, while waiting for the rumored "South Park" season 19 premiere date, which is Sept. 23.

Reportedly almost five months away from its 19th season, "South Park" is the third longest-running animated series in the United States behind "Arthur" with 18 seasons and "The Simpsons" with 26 seasons.

Meanwhile, "South  Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's award-winning hit Broadway musical titled "The Book Of Mormon" is going to Australia.

In a statement obtained by The Sydney Morning Herald, Parker and Stone said, "We can't wait to get started. Everyone says we should look to Tassie for casting so that's where we're going first."

"The Book Of Mormon" will premiere in January 2017 at Melbourne's Princess Theatre and a national Australian tour is likely to follow.

Staged both on Broadway and on London's West End, "The Book Of Mormon" has won awards from Tony, Grammy and Oliver.

Like the Comedy Central series "South Park," the "The Book Of Mormon" musical designed to offend. However, when the show first opened, the Mormons reportedly issued a calculated statement and eventually bought advertising space in the playbill in its Broadway run.

In Australia, "South Park" has screened on SBS since its premiere.
