Beavis and Butt-Head return to save us from ourselves
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 2 July 2020
Beavis and Butt-Head are set to return to TV screens, with Comedy Central in the US commissioning two new series of the show.
Originally running on MTV from 1993 to 1997 – and created by Mike Judge, who went on to make ‘King Of The Hill’ – the show saw the two characters embark on a series of inane adventures, interspersed with their own snide commentary on the music videos of the day. They also starred in 1996 film ‘Beavis And Butt-Head Do America’.
The show returned for one more series on MTV in 2011, but now Comedy Central is talking big about its return. Already on board for two series, the broadcaster says that the show will contain “meta-themes relatable to both new and old fans – Gen X parents and their Gen Z kids”.
“We are THRILLED to be working with Mike Judge … as we double down on adult animation at Comedy Central”, says Chris McCarthy, President of the network’s Entertainment & Youth Group. “Beavis and Butt-Head were a defining voice of a generation, and we can’t wait to watch as they navigate the treacherous waters of a world lightyears from their own”.
Adds Judge: “It seemed like the time was right to get stupid again”.
