Beavis and Butt-Head are returning to TV this September, and they’re doing it the old fashioned way – on cable, where their craziness belongs. Season 3 of the revival (the show’s 11th overall) premieres September 3 on Comedy Central, marking the first time these two knuckleheads have aired on the network after a couple of seasons lurking on Paramount+.
The trailer proves nothing has changed and thank goodness for that. In what’s clearly a dream sequence, the boys score a shout out from Metallica before asking the obvious: ‘How much to buy Metallica?’ James Hetfield, cool as ever says, ‘One gold bar ought to be enough.’ Naturally, they respond by knocking him out cold with one.
It’s classic Beavis and Butt-Head: silly, violent, and somehow still smarter than half the stuff on TV.
From MTV Menace to Cable Comeback
Mike Judge’s brainchildren first invaded MTV in 1993, providing a crude, satirical lens on adolescence, music videos, and the general dumpster fire of youth culture. They became instant cultural lightning rods, parents hated them, teens worshipped them. The original run ended in 1997, followed by a short lived MTV revival in 2011 and two feature films: Beavis & Butt-Head Do America (1996) and Beavis & Butt-Head Do the Universe (2022).
This revival marks the duo’s second modern comeback, with Judge still voicing the boys (and half the cast) and steering the fun alongside Lew Morton, Michael Rotenberg, and the animation crew at Titmouse.
What To Expect In Season 3
If the trailer’s anything to go by, we’re getting more deranged daydreams, old man versions of Beavis and Butt-Head complaining about headbanging injuries, random bursts of destruction, and those awkward, hilarious moments that only these two could pull off.
And while Mike Judge is busy with King of the Hill also back, it’s clear the boys aren’t losing their place in the pop culture hall of shame anytime soon.
Season 3 drops September 3 on Comedy Central, be sure to stock up on nachos.
