Mike Judge will return to write and provide the voices for the classic MTV Generation X animated series, which will be "reimagined" for Generation Z. Comedy Central has ordered two seasons of the revival, with plans for additional spinoffs and specials. The new incarnation will see Beavis and Butt-Head enter a "whole new Gen Z world" that will be relatable to young people who didn't watch the original 1990s series. "It seemed like the time was right to get stupid again," Judge quipped of Beavis and Butt-Head's return. This will mark Beavis and Butt-Head's second revival after MTV brought it back for a failed Season 8 in 2011. "We are thrilled to be working with Mike Judge and the great team at 3 Arts again as we double down on adult animation at Comedy Central," said ViacomCBS' Chris McCarthy. "Beavis and Butt-Head were a defining voice of a generation, and we can’t wait to watch as they navigate the treacherous waters of a world light-years from their own."
