APRIL on Paramount Network (Astro channel 713 and unifi channel 408) will bring lush landscapes from Yellowstone, rib-tickling episodes from the South Park gang, the in-studio return of The Daily Show and a star-studded Saturday Night Live lineup. 

Yellowstone Season 2 (Premieres Monday, April 18, 10.10pm)

With over 10 million fans to date as the reigning show on US cable television, Yellowstone returns to the air in Asia after its hit first season, which closed with Dutton family patriarch John (Kevin Costner) trudging across his own property, realising his tenuous grip on his family continues to loosen each day. 

Paramount Network’s epic scripted dramatic series, stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the US. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park.

South Park Season 25 (Premiers Wednesday, April 6, 11pm)

Named 'One of the All-Time Greatest TV Shows' by Entertainment Weekly, the outlandishly funny award winning animated series makes a grand return for its historic 25th season. Follow everyone's favorite foul-mouthed troublemakers – Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny – as they embark on ruthlessly funny misadventures from their small town in the Colorado Rockies.

Known for its immediate and ruthless responses to world events, South Park's new episodes bring up-to-the-minute news and pop culture icons (including Al Gore, J. Lo, Kanye West, Oprah, Sir Elton John, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and P. Diddy) to the town of South Park for social commentary and ridicule.

The Daily Show (New episodes April 13, Weekdays, 11.50pm)

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah returns to its longtime home at 733 11th Avenue and welcomes a live, in-studio audience in April, with fresh episodes premiering in Asia from April 13.

After earning widespread praise and record audience engagement through the pandemic with uniquely honest conversations and commentary on race and politics, the homecoming will continue to combine the Emmy®-nominated show’s classic news satire with the intimacy and creative elements imbued from The Daily Social Distancing Show.

Saturday Night Live (New episodes following Tuesdays at 9pm, musical performers on Saturdays the week after)

Emmy-winning Saturday Night Live has confirmed its April lineup of hosts, tapping Jerrod Carmichael, Jake Gyllenhaal and Lizzo. While Lizzo will be pulling double duty as her own musical guest, Gunna and Camila Cabello will perform alongside the other two hosts. – The Vibes, March 25, 2022
