Beavis And Butt-Head renewed, moving from streaming to Comedy Central

Over the last few years, the barriers between the worlds of streaming and more traditional TV have steadily broken down, mostly as the needs of the old-school networks have required. Now we’re about to see what might be a genuinely new spin on this general permissiveness: A legacy TV series making the unexpected “regular TV to streaming back to regular TV” flip, with news breaking today that the Beavis & Butt-Head revival has been renewed for a third season, which will debut on Comedy Central.

As fans of Mike Judge’s MTV classic know, it recently came back in 2022, returning to TV—which is to say, streamer Paramount+—after an 11 year absence. (And that 2011 entry was also a revival project, picking up after the original show ended back in 1997.) The new seasons have picked up strong praise for retaining the core smart-stupid vibe of the show’s central duo, while still managing to update the series for the modern world.

As part of the transition to Comedy Central, the show’s latest movie adaptation, Beavis And Butt-Head Do The Universe, will arrive on Comedy Central on July 3, ahead of the debut of its second season on the cable channel. The third season will arrive some time in 2025, and will debut on Comedy Central first, before making its way over to the streaming airwaves.

Judge has been very busy of late, of course; he’s currently working on the King Of The Hill reboot that’s also supposed to be coming out in 2025, so that’s going to be a big year for ’90s animation nerds all-round, sounds like. Meanwhile, we assume Mikey Day and Ryan Gosling are spending today with their phones constantly blowing up with this news, because that is the hell they have now consigned themselves to.
