The famous animated duo Beavis and Butt-Head will return for their third season on Comedy Central. The new season will start on September 3, 2025. This will be the eleventh overall season of the show and the third season since its recent revival. The first two seasons of the revival first aired on Paramount+. But now, Comedy Central will be the new home for the show.
A new trailer for the season has been released. It shows Beavis and Butt-Head in many different situations. They appear as teenagers, as middle-aged men, and even as smart versions from another universe. In one part of the trailer, they try to buy the band Metallica. They end up hitting the band’s guitarist, James Hetfield, in the head with a gold bar. The trailer also shows Butt-Head finally getting his braces off. Beavis gets a new tattoo and turns into his wild alter ego, Cornholio.
Mike Judge is the creator of Beavis and Butt-Head. He also provides the voices for both main characters. Judge is back as the executive producer for this new season. Other executive producers include Lew Morton, Michael Rotenberg, and Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Ben Kalina, and Antonio Canobbio from Titmouse animation studio.
The show first started in 1993 on MTV. It became very popular for its humor and satire about youth culture. The series has had two revivals before. One was in 2011 for an eighth season on MTV. The other was in 2022 with a movie and two new seasons on Paramount+. The 2022 movie was called Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe. Comedy Central also aired this movie and the first two revival seasons before the new season begins.
Why the Move to Comedy Central?
The move from Paramount+ to Comedy Central is a big change. Comedy Central is a cable channel that many people get with their basic TV packages. Paramount+ is a streaming service that requires a subscription. By moving to Comedy Central, the show might reach more viewers. The channel has a history of airing adult animated shows like South Park.
Comedy Central started airing the second season of the revival in July 2024. They also showed the Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe movie. This helped introduce the show to a new audience. The third season will now premiere directly on Comedy Central. This is different from the first two revival seasons, which went to Paramount+ first.
What to Expect in Season 3
The new season will continue the adventures of Beavis and Butt-Head. They are two teenage boys who are not very smart. They like to watch music videos and cause trouble in their town of Highland, Texas. The show is known for its silly humor and its satire of society.
The trailer suggests that the new season will have many different storylines. We will see the characters as teenagers. We will also see them as middle-aged men. In one scene, Beavis hurts his neck from headbanging. He asks, “Why did we used to do that?” This could be a funny look at how people change as they get older.
The smart versions of Beavis and Butt-Head are also returning. These versions first appeared in the movie Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe. They come from a parallel universe where they are very intelligent. It will be interesting to see how they interact with the regular versions.
Beavis’s alter ego, Cornholio, is also back. Cornholio appears when Beavis eats too much sugar or caffeine. He becomes hyperactive and says he needs “TP for my bunghole.” In the new trailer, Cornholio gets tased while trying to steal toilet paper.
