Of the title characters, Butt-Head appears to be the leader of the two. Judge got the name Butt-Head from his university days, when he knew a couple of other students who had the nicknames 'Iron Butt' and 'Butt-Head'. He is voiced by the show's creator, Mike Judge. The show was developed for MTV by the duo of Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis Lynn while Judge shifted focus to his and Daniels' King of the Hill.Butt-Head is a fictional character and one of the two protagonists from the MTV/ Paramount+ animated series Beavis and Butt-Head. That said, Judge had no real involvement in Daria. After all, Beavis and Butt-Head already spawned a spinoff in the form of Daria, which aired on MTV for five seasons and two made-for-TV films from 1997 to 2002. The upcoming Comedy Central revival of Beavis and Butt-Head getting its own spinoffs would certainly not be unprecedented. RELATED: Halo EP Clears up the Paramount+ Series' Canon Status

After over a decade off the air, Beavis and Butt-Head was revived for an eighth season on MTV in 2011. Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, a feature-length film directed and co-written by Judge, hit theaters on Dec. MTV then turned Beavis and Butt-Head into a full series, which aired for seven seasons on the network from 1993 to 1997. Moreover, Maude received its own spinoff in the form of Good Times, while The Jeffersons got its own spinoff in the form of Checking In, bringing the total number of shows than can be tied back to All in the Family up to seven.Ĭreated by Judge, Beavis and Butt-Head began life as a duology of shorts that aired as part of MTV's Liquid Television animation showcase in 1992. In total, five additional sitcoms spun directly out of All in the Family: Maude, The Jeffersons, Archie Bunker's Place, Gloria and 704 Hauser.

"Hopefully we can get to that point," Judge said.

While the Beavis and Butt-Head revival deal pre-dates Bandera's formation, Judge says the show "exemplifies the types of risk-taking the company wants to do with animation." What's more, Judge hopes the Beavis and Butt-Head revival will spawn an entire franchise, not unlike what Norman Lear did with All in the Family. Judge discussed the upcoming Comedy Central revival of Beavis and Butt-Head during a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter, during which it came to light that Judge and Greg Daniels were developing a revival of their fan-favorite Fox series King of the Hill through their new Bandera Entertainment animation company.
