The idiotic duo of Beavis and Butt-Head just conquered the universe, and now there’s finally a date for their return to the small screen. Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head will premiere on Paramount+ on Thursday, August 4, 2022.
Now that you’ve seen them do the universe, it’s time for them to do a new series. Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head is coming to #ParamountPlus on August 4th. #beavisandbutthead pic.twitter.com/jWxeVXRobG

The new series promises that the two are back and “stupider than ever.” A new trailer also debuted and features both in a number of dangerous, ridiculous, and just plain stupid situations. From battling bees to getting hooked by a fisherman’s hook while riding on a log down a river, there’s no end to their antics.
Series creator Mike Judge will be on hand at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, July 21 at 4:45PM in Ballroom 20. Judge and moderator Paul Scheer will discuss the upcoming original series as well as debut an exclusive new look at the upcoming series.
The characters originated in 1992 as characters in Judge’s “Frog Baseball” short which premiered on MTV’s “Liquid Television.” MTV eventually commissioned a full series that ran from March 1993 to November 1997, and it had a brief revival in 2011. Two new seasons were announced in June 2020.
Since then, Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe has been released. The film, which premiered late last month on Paramount+, features Beavis and Butt-Head as they get sent through a black hole in present time where they look for love, misuse iPhones, and are hunted by the Deep State.
In our review, we gave it an 8/10 and said that “Universe brings the boys back for an intergalactic comedy with plenty of their trademark crude laughs.”
