Following the recent success of the new “Beavis and Butt-Head” movie, “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe,” the re-booted regular series is set to debut on Aug. 4. Paramount+ previously released the show’s first trailer, and has now released a nearly nine-minute clip from the episode “The Special One,” which debuted during Comic-Con International: San Diego.
“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.”
The new show will also feature the duo commenting on music videos which were extremely popular with fans in the original series. In an interview earlier this year, Judge revealed to Revolver that in addition to music videos, this season will also feature the gruesome twosome reacting to YouTube and TikTok videos. “That just sort of came up,” the creator said. “Like, there’s just so much to watch. We were limited to [music videos] on MTV, but the world is cluttered with so much video now. Now, whatever the demographic that was watching music videos [in the Nineties] is probably watching this kind of TikTok stuff. And we all watch YouTube.”
The show, created by Mike Judge, initially ran from 1993 to 1997 for more than 200 episodes. During its initial run, “Beavis and Butt-Head “received critical acclaim for its satirical, scathing commentary on society. Judge also told The Hollywood Reporter: “It’s still Beavis and Butt-Head and they’re pretty positive characters, generally speaking,” he noted. “You maybe don’t really think of that when you hear their names but they usually think everything’s pretty cool. Or, in one way or another, everything sucks.”
