The adult animation, which originally ran from 1992 to 1997, is being rebooted by Comedy Central for the new seasons and a special.
Series creator Mike Judge will return to write, produce and provide voices for the series, which will see the titular slacker teenagers enter “a whole new Gen Z world” that will appeal to both old fans of the show and first-time viewers.
“It seemed like the time was right to get stupid again,” Judge said about the show’s return.
ViacomCBS’s Chris McCarthy said: “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.
“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.”
It’s unclear whether the characters will still be teenagers in the new episodes or will have grown up with their audience.
Beavis and Butt-Head originally ran for seven seasons and spawned a 1996 feature film, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, as well as an initial series revival in 2011.
