And the network made similar headlines again earlier this week when it revealed that Ren and Stimpy, those hyperactive icons of grotesque Saturday morning dadaism, would also mount a comeback after nearly 30 years off the air. The sniggering twosome will also get another shot at the small screen, as Comedy Central announced just last month that creator Mike Judge will bring his most famed creations back for a new series loosing them on the world of 2020. Last year saw MTV unveil plans for the new cartoon Jodie, a spinoff focusing on a secondary character from the zeitgeist-seizing comedy Daria, itself a spinoff from the adventures of wonder-idiots Beavis and Butthead. A mini-revival of seminal Gen-X animation has been slated for the immediate future, ostensibly catering to a demographic raised to view this sort of thing as a crass corporate cash-grab. But until now, that was the last anybody had heard of the project.That may soon change, however, based on a handful of recent announcements from the TV industry. The revival would also include multiple spinoffs and movies. In 2020, Comedy Central announced that it ordered a second revival of the show, which would target the Gen Z demographic. It wasn’t until 2014 that Judge spoke about the possibility of reviving the duo once again, but MTV was not interested. The series also featured the first appearance of Daria, who would go on to star in her own hit show also on MTV. In 2011, the duo were back in an official eighth season which consisted of 22 episodes.
The movie followed the boys on a road trip journey to find their stolen television, and later on “score,” all while being chased by the FBI! The film was a commercial success, with a budget of $12 million and earning $63 million at the box office.
The popularity of the show naturally lead to 1996’s Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. As one of MTV’s highest-rated shows at the time, Beavis and Butt-Head would continue to wreak havoc on MTV from 1992 all the way through 1997 with seven seasons.
