Unifying symbol for the MTV generationโs cultural rebellion โ Beavis & Butt-Head โ is set to be โreimaginedโ for Gen-Z kids, as well as providing original Gen-X audiences with some much-needed laughter.
With two new seasons ordered by Comedy Central, this upcoming revival will be helmed by original creator and veteran of the serialised comedy format, Mike Judge (King of the Hill, Silicon Valley).
โIt seemed like the time was right to get stupid again,โ says Judge.
Not only will Judge oversee the seasonsโ production, but also write, produce, and reprise his voiceover roles as both Beavis and Butt-Head.

Beavis & Butt-Head made a limited return almost a decade ago in 2011. In this eighth season, the duo resumed satirically taking on the mass culture of reality TV, film, and music videos. One can only imagine what will be within the scope of sniggering mockery in this material-rich climate. What I will say is thisโฆ expectations are high for the show which inspired South Park.
In addition to the two new seasons, several โspin-offs and specialsโ are being considered. As you may recall, Beavis & Butt-Head was the launch platform for yet another cultural phenomenon, Daria โ so we may even see the latterโs return. And thereโs also the fact that Comedy Central has just picked up a Daria spin-off entitled Jodie, based on Dariaโs friend Jodie Landon during her post-college years. Suffice it to say, this particular animated universe is thriving.
