Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge is set to to relaunch and reimagine the much-loved show, which formerly aired on MTV, as part of a deal with Comedy Central that includes a two-season order.
Emmy award-winning Judge, who is also behind King of the Hill and Silicon Valley, said in a statement that "it seemed like the time was right to get stupid again."
The 57-year-old animator and actor will also voice the characters on top of writing and producing the reboot for the network, along with spin-offs and specials.
In the new incarnation, the lovable teenage couch potatoes will enter a "whole new Gen Z world" with themes that are said to be relatable to both new fans and original viewers.
"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," said the President of Entertainment and Youth Group, Chris McCarthy.
"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," he added.
