Comedy Central announced that the world’s favorite slacker teens are getting a reimagining at the cable network courtesy of original series creator Mike Judge.
Comedy Central has ordered two seasons of the show as part of a new animation deal with Judge and 3 Arts Entertainment. The deal also includes potential spin-offs and specials.
As with the original series, Judge is set to write, produce and provide the voices for both iconic characters.
“It seemed like the time was right to get stupid again,” said Judge.
The series officially launched in 1993 on MTV. It featured the titular duo offering satirical commentary on youth and adolescence. The show proved to be a cultural phenomenon, generating strong reactions both positive and negative.
“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” says Chris McCarthy, president of Entertainment & Youth Group at ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks.
“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 light-years from their own.”
