Beavis and Butt-head are back. On Wednesday, Comedy Central announced it has ordered two seasons of a Beavis and Butt-Head reboot from original series creator Mike Judge.

Judge will write, produce, and provide voiceover for the show’s two leading characters in the reimagined take on the seminal animated comedy, which will find Beavis and Butt-Head enmeshed in the Gen Z era. “It seemed like the time was right to get stupid again,” Judge said in a statement.
