South Park will not air the planned fifth episode of its current season Wednesday night, postponing it until next Wednesday, Sept. 24, Comedy Central has announced.

The episode was going to be the first from the show since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was parodied in the season’s second episode last month.

“Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don’t get it done,” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said in a statement. “This one’s on us. We didn’t get it done in time. Thanks to Comedy Central and South Park fans for being so understanding. Tune in next week!”

The network had done none of its regular promotion for the new episode, so there was no indication that South Park would be taking on the Kirk assassination directly.
