Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head Renewed For Fourth Season By Comedy Central
Not even days later after the show had debuted the third season finale, Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head has been renewed for a fourth season by Comedy Central. Paramount quietly made the announcement this week and comes as the conglomerate has been battling Netflix for the rights to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. In related news Saladin Patterson has renewed an overall deal with 20th Television for Disney more specifically to continue to focus on Mike Judge’s other series that is also working on additional seasons King of the Hill.
In an age of hyper-complex, serialized comedy, there is something profoundly comforting about two idiots sitting on a couch, laughing at their own terrible jokes, and occasionally lighting things on fire. That is the enduring, idiotic genius of Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head.
From their 1990s MTV debut to their current, highly successful revival on Paramount+, Beavis and Butt-Head have served as the constant, drooling id of American pop culture. They are critics without criteria, rebels without a cause, and philosophers of the profane.
Mike Judge successfully resurrected the duo in 2011 and again in the 2020s, with their latest incarnation landing on Paramount+. The key genius of the modern revival is the shift in their couch viewing: they now comment on YouTube videos, TikToks, and high-minded documentaries, bridging the gap between generations of digital stupidity.
Synopsis:
The triumphant return of Beavis and Butt-Head, two teenage boys who like things that are cool and don’t like things that suck.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
