From Emmy Award-winning creator Mike Judge, the beloved misfits return with their signature brand of absurd, hilarious, and often painfully relatable antics – cementing their status as enduring pop culture icons.

Having originally premiered in 1993, Emmy Award-winning creator Mike Judge has cemented Beavis and Butt-Head as cornerstones in adult animation. Known for its sharp wit and unfiltered take on adolescence, the show remains a significant part of the cultural zeitgeist.

Created and voiced by writer, producer and director Mike Judge, the characters of Beavis and Butt-Head originated in Judge’s 1992 short film Frog Baseball, which was broadcast by MTV’s animation showcase “Liquid Television.”

After MTV commissioned a full series around the characters, Beavis and Butt-Head ran for seven seasons,...

Beavis and Butt-Head made the journey from the 90s to modern day thanks to their time-traveling antics in Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe. The feature special, which premiered on Paramount+, served as a bridge to the series revival. The continuing series would air on Comedy Central not long after. Now, Mike Judge returns with everyone’s favorite morons for a new season of Beavis and Butt-Head. Comedy Central has released the new trailer. The third season looks to feature more segments with older Beavis and Butt-Head, as well as the future, “intelligent” entity versions.

Season three will premiere on Wednesday, September 3rd. The press release did not include an episode count.

The release reads,

Listen up, fartknockers: The coolest uncool kids on the block are back.

Comedy Central deployed the first trailer today for Season 3 of Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-head and set its premiere for September 3. Have a look above.

Series creator, writer, producer and voice provider Mike Judge is back with more stupid human tricks. The trailer shows our anti-heroes as uber-wealthy dolts who are out to “buy Metallica.” When James Hetfield gives them his price, he pays a painful price. Later, we see the teen duo as aliens, Butt-head finally loses his braces, the guys age up and Bh bulks up, and Cornholio’s Tp thievery gets him tased.

In other words, the boys are back in town. Lock up your valuables. And your sanity.

Judge introduced his iconic slacker duo way back in 1993, debuting on MTV’s toon mashup Liquid Television. Later that year, Beavis and Butt-head got...

Beavis and Butt-Head are coming back to TV, and they’re as dumb and hilarious as ever. Comedy Central has set the release date for the third season of the revived series, with new episodes starting on September 3, 2025.

This isn’t just the third season of the revival, it’s the eleventh season overall in the long, weird history of the show. The first two revival seasons were streaming on Paramount+, but back in June 2024, Paramount decided the series would move to Comedy Central instead.

Along with the release date, Paramount has also dropped a trailer for the new season. It features the two iconic idiots getting a shoutout from Metallica in what looks like a dream. Then, things go full Beavis and Butt-Head when they try to figure out how much it would cost to buy the band, and end up throwing a gold bar at James Hetfield’s head.

Beavis and Butt-Head are returning with more dumb jokes, weird adventures, and heavy metal nonsense. Comedy Central has announced that the third season of the revived Beavis and Butt-Head series will premiere on September 3, 2025.

This will be the third season of the current revival and the eleventh season overall in the show’s long history.

The first two revival seasons were released on Paramount+, but back in June 2024, Paramount confirmed that the show would be switching over to Comedy Central for future episodes. Now fans won’t need a streaming service to keep up with the two cartoon idiots, just cable.

A brand-new trailer for the season was also released. In the trailer, Beavis and Butt-Head get what looks like a shoutout from Metallica in a dream sequence. Of course, it gets ridiculous fast. The two try to figure out how much it would cost to buy the band and...

The third season of the revival of “Beavis and Butt-Head” has set its Comedy Central release date.

The revival’s third season (and the show’s eleventh overall) will launch on Sept. 3 at the basic cabler. The first two seasons of the revival debuted on Paramount+, but it was announced in June 2024 that the series would be airing on Comedy Central going forward.

Paramount has also released the first trailer for the new season, which can be seen below. In the trailer, Beavis and Butt-Head (in what is no doubt a dream sequence) get a shoutout from Metallica before the pair ask how much it would cost to buy the band. They then nail James Hetfield in the head with a gold bar.

The series officially launched in 1993 on fellow Paramount cable network MTV. It featured the titular duo offering satirical commentary on youth and adolescence. The show proved to be a cultural phenomenon,...

Adam Sandler’s “The Chanukah Song” transcends classic SNL bit and now qualifies as a legitimate holiday classic — as much a post-Thanksgiving staple as “Jingle Bells” or “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.”

Debuting on SNL on December 3, 1994, “The Chanukah Song” has changed a bit over the last three decades — with the names of new Jewish celebrities being swapped in and out — but it’s never stopped being a banger (Chanukah or otherwise). Sandler wrote the original with SNL writers Ian Maxtone-Graham and Lew Morton, the latter of whom recently spoke to me about coming up with the biggest Chanukah hit since “I Have a Little Dreidel.”

When did you join Saturday Night Live as a writer?

In the fall of 1993. Sandler had been there for a while already, but I’d only worked with him a little bit before “The Chanukah Song.” He would do these holiday songs that...

Beavis and Butt-Head are set for more wild adventures. Comedy Central has renewed “Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head” for Season 3, which will air on the network in 2025, TheWrap has learned.

Additionally, the second season of the series — which streamed on Paramount+ — will make its broadcast premiere on Comedy Central on July 10 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt. The broadcast premiere of the 2022 Paramount+ film “Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe” will take place on July 3 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt.

The Beavis and Butt-Head duo, who are voiced by Judge, first appeared in his 1992 short film “Frog Baseball,” which was broadcast by MTV’s animation showcase “Liquid Television.”

After MTV commissioned a full series around the characters, “Beavis and Butt-Head” ran for seven seasons, from March 8, 1993 to Nov. 28, 1997. The series was revived in 2011 with an eighth season airing on MTV, and then revived again in 2022 with the Paramount+ series “Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head.

In this brave new world of "Star Wars" fandom, it's almost unfathomable that there exist elements within the various films, novels, comics, and TV shows that don't have some sort of backstory or origin point. While obviously this stems from the huge fanbase for "Star Wars" loving the fictional universe so much that they wish to study and know absolutely everything that's in it, this trend also originated out of an inherent idea popularized by creator George Lucas with the very first movie in the franchise back in 1977 -- the implication that we're seeing a small part of a larger world, and every planet, ship, and creature we see (whether in the foreground or background) has its own history and story.

It's a powerful implication, and one that's essential to constructing a wholly fictional universe. Yet, of course, it's mostly hogwash -- or at least it used to be. While...

The first two episodes will premiere April 20 in the U.S. and Canada, and in Australia and the U.K. on Friday, April 21, with further international markets to follow.

In the second season, Beavis and Butt-Head return as, natch, two guys who like things that are cool and hate things that suck.

When it was first announced that Paramount+ was rebooting Mike Judge's beloved animated series, "Beavis and Butt-Head," fans of the original series were rightfully concerned that bringing everyone's favorite MTV buffoons into the current era was a recipe for disaster. And yet, after the wildly successful "Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe," Judge effortlessly incorporated his horny, mouth-breathing, lovable losers into the 2020s.

The first season of the "Beavis and Butt-Head" reboot was, quite honestly, the absolute best possible outcome. The structure of the series didn't change at all, instead evolved to better reflect our current times. The characters still end up in nonsensical adventures like getting trapped in a bathroom thinking it's part of an escape room (or enacting revenge on some raccoons for eating their nachos) and still have the interspersed asides of commenting on whatever is on TV. Instead of focusing primarily on music videos as...

The House of Representatives still doesn’t have a speaker after Kevin McCarthy has failed to win multiple votes for the leadership position, and late night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are thrilled.

“No one, literally no one, and I called people who know things, no one knows what happens now,” Colbert said of the impasse in the Republican-led chamber, on CBS’ Late Show Wednesday night. “Here’s what we do know: It’s fantastic!”

Later, after a news clip was shown of McCarthy saying he wouldn’t withdraw from the race, Colbert said, “Oh Kevin, let it go. Don’t you know one of the things about dreams is sometimes they die? Except for my dream, where you keep losing over and over again!”

He continued to quip, “Nobody pinch me. I don’t want to wake up, mom. I don’t want to go to school today.

It seems weird to put a spoiler alert on an article about Beavis and Butt-Head, but then again nothing about the pair’s success has been expected. After debuting 30 years ago in Mike Judge’s animated short “Frog Baseball,” the troublesome teens first found fame when that cartoon was aired on MTV’s legendary animation anthology Liquid Television. A spinoff quickly ensued, and the rest is pop culture history.

On the heels of the recent — and excellent — feature film Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, the guys are back in a new series that is now streaming on Paramount+. But there’s a twist. Continuing on from the events of the recent movie, the pair are now living in 2022….as are their fortysomething colleagues from the original series, still as demented as ever.

Furthermore the “smart” versions of the characters make a return in this revival series.

“Beavis and Butt-Head” are back on TV. A revival of the classic ’90s MTV animated series is set to premiere on Paramount+ on Aug. 4, the streamer announced Thursday. In addition, the streamer revealed a first trailer for the series, which can be watched below.

Created and voiced by Mike Judge in 1992 for the MTV animated anthology series “Liquid Television,” Beavis and Butt-Head are two teenage slackers who share an extreme libido and complete inability to attract women. The characters proved popular enough to launch their own spinoff series, which ran for 200 episodes across seven seasons. The show sees the pair embark on various half-baked schemes, as well as mock contemporary music videos that aired on MTV. The series launched another popular spin-off series “Daria,” starring the character voiced by Tracy Grandstaff, and was revived for an extra season on MTV in 2011.

The news of the revival comes shortly after the...

I’m old enough to remember when Beavis and Butt-Head premiered on MTV back in 1993 and certain pundits greeted the misadventures of these two fire-loving, TV-obsessed juvenile delinquents as a sign of the pending cultural apocalypse. The characters were either a warning cry about a generation raised and desensitized by music videos or, worse, they were a potential inspiration for impressionable young viewers.

Those pundits didn’t understand the satirical edge of Mike Judge’s animated comedy, but if we’re being perfectly honest, neither did a lot of the show’s fans.

Nearly 30 years later, Beavis and Butt-Head are returning for a new run of episodes on Paramount+, preceded by the feature-length Beavis and Butt-head Do the Universe and one thing is shockingly clear: Beavis and Butt-Head may be puerile to a dangerous degree, but as alienated loners — at least they have...

Netflix's critical hit "Orange Is the New Black" picked up four nominations for the 2014 Writers Guild Awards -- where it's entered as a comedy series.

The show (and its cast) is entered in the drama field for some other upcoming awards shows, including the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. It's a bit of a tweener show, mixing both comedy and drama, but as there are no "dramedy" awards anywhere, it's a comedy for writing purposes.

Other multiple nominees for the WGA Awards include "Breaking Bad," "Modern Family," "30 Rock," "Masters of Sex," "The Simpsons" and another Netflix series, "House of Cards."

The full list of series nominees is below. You can go here to see all the WGA TV and radio nominees, including those for news and children's programming. The awards are scheduled for Feb. 1.

CBS has added a comedy starring "Saturday Night Live" alum and frequent Adam Sandler co-star Rob Schneider to its midseason slate.

The show, which Schneider also co-created, is about a guy who's been on his own for most of his adult life and marries into a close-knit Mexican-American family. It's loosely based on his own life.

Spanish actress Claudia Bassols will play his new wife in the series. Cheech Marin, Diana Maria Riva, Eugenio Derbez and Lupe Ontiveros are also in the cast. Schneider, Lew Morton ("SNL," "NewsRadio") and Eric and Kim Tannenbaum ("Two and a Half Men") will serve as executive producers.

The untitled show was in the mix for a pickup in May at CBS' upfronts. The network didn't commit right away but ordered a new pilot with several roles recast. That one passed muster and will join the rookie-cops drama "The 2-2" as the network's midseason entrants.

CBS has given an eight-episode midseason order to an untitled Rob Schneider family comedy series, which was revamped by the network after failing to make the 2011 fall schedule. The show, which is based on Schneider's real-life experiences, stars the comedian as a former bachelor who has just married into a tight-knit Mexican American family. The "Grown Ups" star, who is also executive-producing, co-wrote the multi-camera series with TV scribe Lewis Morton ("Futurama"). According to Deadline, the pilot - which was gunning for a slot on CBS' 2011 fall schedule but failed to make the cut - was revamped by the...

Rob Schneider will finally join the CBS lineup this midseason.

After sending his project back to the drawing board, the network has ordered the untitled multi-camera comedy about a confirmed bachelor (Schneider) who marries into a tight-knit Mexican-American family. The series stars Cheech Marin and Lupe Ontiveros and is exec produced by Schneider, Lew Morton, and Eric and Kim Tannenbaum.

Rob Schneider is officially returning to primetime. CBS has handed a midseason series order to Schneider’s untitled family comedy. I hear the pickup is for eight episodes. While it was tracking well, the pilot didn’t make the cut for a fall series order at the upfronts, but CBS liked it enough to order a revamped second pilot that included major casting changes as well as several backup scripts. The multi-camera comedy, which Schneider co-wrote with Lew Morton based on the actor’s real-life experiences, stars Schneider as Rob, a confirmed bachelor who has just married into a tight-knit Mexican-American family. Spanish actress Claudia Bassols plays his wife, Maggie. Diana Maria Riva plays his mother-in-law, Rosa. Both roles were recast from the pilot, as was the role of Schneider’s father-in-law, now played by Cheech Marin. Remaining from the original cast are Schneider, Eugenio Derbez as the wife’s...
