A two-season order “Beavis and Butt-Head” revival is on its way to Comedy Central.
The 80s and 90s produced some the most iconic cartoons. The Simpsons debuted in the late 80s. Family Guy and South Park began carving their respective legacies into pop culture in the late 90s. And in between those times, there were plenty other cartoons targeted to adults that made waves. Beavis & Butthead had an iconic stretch throughout the 90s, though attempts to reboot it beyond that have failed. However, it seems like there’s another attempt to revive the cartoon.
According to THR, ViacomCBS-owned Comedy Central has picked up a revamp Beavis And Butt-Head for two seasons with the series creator Mike Judge returning to write, produce, and voice characters in the series. The new deal includes two seasons as well as plans for spin-fs and a potential special. They plan on bringing the iconic 90s duo to a “whole new Gen Z world” that would relate to both old fans and new fans alike.
“We are thrilled to be working with Mike Judge and the great team at 3 Arts again as we double down on adult animation at Comedy Central,” Chris McCarthy, President ViacomCBS’ entertainment and youth group,said. “Beavis and Butt-Head were a defining voice a generation, and we can’t wait to watch as they navigate the treacherous waters a world light-years from their own.”
“It seemed like the time was right to get stupid again,” Judge added.
