Beavis and Butt-Head creator, Mike Judge, confirms a new movie is coming to Paramount+ in 2022. Judge's original series followed the eponymous Beavis and Butt-Head, who are a pair of teenage slackers known for their lack of intelligence, failure to attract woman, and lowbrow humor. Both the lead roles are voiced by Judge, as well as a host of other characters on the series.
After debuting in a Judge-created short film, called Frog Baseball, both Beavis and Butt-Head would go on to star in a self-titled series on MTV in the 1990s. The original series ran for seven seasons, which consisted of 200 total episodes. The couch-potato, burn-out lead characters quickly became pop culture icons, and the show earned widespread acclaim praising its satirical commentary on society.
Beavis and Butt-Head will be returning this year with a brand new movie and more on Paramount+. No exact date yet, but soon. They need some time to get back in shape. pic.twitter.com/tN5rePP9KnBack in the summer of 2020, MTV Entertainment Group president, Chris McCarthy, announced a brand new Beavis and Butt-Head movie for Paramount+ from Judge was in the works.
Judge has gone on to create numerous critically acclaimed works of film and television, including King of the Hill and Office Space. While his original characters, Beavis and Butt-Head, serve as cultural icons, they are very much a product of the '90s. Updating the characters for a modern audience could offer some brevity in these trying times. Will the dim-witted companions have to navigate the waters of the coronavirus pandemic? Or, will they offer their take on the recent U.
They should leave it be. Old episodes are corny as fuck
This is good news
