Heavy metal-loving teenagers “Beavis And Butt-Head” are making their return soon to Paramount+. In early January, the show’s creator Mike Judge tweeted a sketch of the duo as older adults which led to fan speculation of how they would appear in their first full-length film since “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America” in 1996. On Thursday, more details emerged about the film including a new trailer. The movie will premiere June 23. In addition to the new film, the full library of 200 remastered “Beavis And Butt-Head episodes will also stream exclusively on Paramount+.
The film’s synopsis reads: “A tale that technically spans two centuries, ‘Beavis And Butt-Head Do The Universe’ promises to sit atop all future lists of the ‘Dumbest Science Fiction Movies Ever Made.’ The saga begins when Beavis and Butt-Head wind up at space camp through “creative sentencing” from a juvenile court judge in 1998. Mistaking a docking simulator for something else (huh huh), Beavis and Butt-Head excel at it and are asked to join the space shuttle mission in a PR move. After ruining the mission, they are left for dead in space and end up going through a black hole and reemerging back on Earth in 2022, only to discover a very different world — and find themselves considered Buttholes of Interest by the NSA, the governor of Texas, and a highly intelligent version of themselves from a parallel universe. Also they almost lose their virginity, but don’t.”
“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/CEO, Paramount Media Networks and MTV Entertainment Studios. “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.”
“Reuniting Beavis and Butt-Head is the smartest dumb move one could make, and we jumped at the opportunity,” said Tanya Giles, chief programming officer of streaming for Paramount+. “Only a duo this iconic would bring us to space and back and we’re so excited to share their epic, nacho-filled journey with audiences.” Another exclusive look at the movie will debut during the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards on Sunday at 8 p.m.
