Their 2011 MTV revival was solid if unremarkable, more a toe’s dip in the new millennium’s cultural waters than a full immersion. Plus, the full library of Beavis and Butt-Head‘s 200-plus original episodes will begin hitting Paramount+, in batches, the same day that Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe drops.So it isn’t the least bit surprising that these characters, birthed in a 1992 short film and then popularized in a 1993-1997 TV series, would be fully adaptable to new generations of media literacy with almost no alterations at all. In July 2020, Comedy Central ordered two seasons of a “reimagined” Beavis and Butt-Head series (with Judge once again on board) that project was shuffled to Paramount+ in February 2022 and is expected to premiere on the streamer later this year. The show originally aired on MTV from 1993-97, then came back for an eighth season on the network in 2011. “Mike Judge has reimagined this dynamic duo in a way that is sure to have both old fans and new ones alike laughing out loud - and we couldn’t be more excited to bring them back into our rapidly expanding arsenal of hit adult animation.”
“Beavis and Butt-Head were defining voices of a generation, and to this day, the show is one of the most well-known and beloved animated IPs of all time,” said Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of Paramount Media Networks and MTV Entertainment Studios. Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge will be back to voice both of the titular slackers, while the rest of the voice cast includes Gary Cole ( NCIS), Chris Diamantopoulos ( Made for Love), Nat Faxon ( Our Flag Means Death), Brian Huskey ( Bob’s Burgers), Chi McBride ( Hawaii Five-0), Tig Notaro ( Star Trek: Discovery), Stephen Root ( Barry), Andrea Savage ( I’m Sorry), Martin Starr ( Silicon Valley) and Jimmy O.
