In addition, the revival film “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe” will air on Comedy Central on July 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Interestingly, when the new series was first announced in 2020, it was reported that it would air on Comedy Central with a two-season order. “Do the Universe” instead debuted on Paramount+ in 2022, with the new seasons dropping in 2022 and 2023.
Mike Judge created the series and voices many of the characters. He is also an executive producer along with Lew Morton and Michael Rotenberg, as well as Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Ben Kalina and Antonio Canobbio for Titmouse. MTV Entertainment Studios produces.
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, generating strong reactions both positive and negative.
The newest version marks the second time “Beavis and Butt-Head” has been brought back to television. After it originally ended in 1997 after seven seasons, MTV revived it for an eighth season in 2011. Paramount Pictures released the film “Beavis & Butt-Head Do America” in 1996. “Daria,” a spinoff featuring “Beavis & Butt-Head” character Daria Morgendorffer, aired on MTV for five seasons.
