Transgender Caitlyn Jenner will soon receive the South Park treatment in the show's upcoming season 19 premiere.

South Park returns for its 19th season on Wednesday and it has been revealed the Comedy Central show will take on Jenner and the topic of transgenders.

Titled Stunning and Brave, a reference to Kris Jenner's 'amazing and very brave' comments about Caitlyn's recent speech at the ESPYS Awards, the premiere episode will force the South Park boys to face their not-so-politically correct history.

'There is a new principal at the helm of South Park Elementary. He forces the boys to confront the damage they've done through their history of racism and unconscious bias,' the episodes description reads.

It remains unclear just how Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman will handle their interaction with the show's version of the former Olympian.

South Park has a long history of lampooning transgender issues with character Mr Garrison undergoing gender-reassignment surgery in 2005 and again in 2008.

More recently season 18 episode Cissy satirized radical political correctness surrounding gender identity.
