    New ‘Beavis and Butt-head’ Revival Series Heading to Paramount+, Movie to Arrive this July

    Previously announced Beavis and Butt-Head renewal is headed to Paramount+. The show was originally supposed to air on Comedy Central, but as the streaming wars ramp up, it looks like Paramount is choosing to keep it as an exclusive to subscribers. The show is currently ordered for a 9 episode return. Along with the show, a new movie is in the works and will debut this July. The new episodes are set to follow, although an exact release date is still unknown.

    The return of the classic franchise is definitely going to put a smile on a generation’s face. It’s cute that the logo still includes MTV. The design we’ve seen some time ago, but it’s still jarring to see aged-up versions of these iconic characters. It’ll be interesting to see just how meta the project might end up being, especially with how South Park approached it with its Post-Covid films.

    ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ Revival for Paramount+ in the Works, First Look at Titular Characters Revealed

    It looks like some classic icons from our childhood are making a comeback, as Paramount+ is working on a revival of Beavis and Butt-Head. The adult animation was originally part of a short film before becoming a mainstay on MTV with seven seasons. It ran from 1993 until 1997 but even got a revival in 2011 that sadly never got a second season. while it is supposedly getting another renewal over on Comedy Central, our wait for the icons might not be too long after all.

    Creator Mike Judge has shared that they are working on a new film that’ll premiere on the streaming service Paramount+ sometime this year. It’ll be the second film based on the characters after 1996’s Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. There is still no title or details on the project outside of our first look at the returning characters, who are seemingly in their middle ages now.

    Many streaming services have been banking quite a bit on nostalgia-filled content. Paramount+ is no stranger to it, as they recently released two of a series of new films that explore the future versions of popular South Park characters. The films Post Covid and Post Covid: The Return of Covid also continued the franchise’s classic humor but explored the characters’ future selves. Of course, Beavis and Butt-Head hasn’t aired in some time. So, the approach might be quite a bit different and it’ll be exciting to see how they reinvent the classic characters.
