Mike Judge Says BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD Could Return One Day in Live-Action
I have enjoyed the projects that Mike Judge has been a part of since his days at MTV with Beavis and Butt-Head. He's currently the brains behind one of the funniest shows on TV, HBO's Silicon Valley. It was Beavis and Butt-Head that really launched his career, though, and it was a show I really enjoyed watching back in the '90s. It was just such perfect timing for a show like that. It ended in 1997 and was brought back briefly in 2011. It doesn't sound like Judge is done with these two knucklehead characters as he has been thinking about the possibility of doing a live-action revival.
During an interview with the Radio Times, Judge said, "Maybe it could be a live-action someday.” I've gotta say, that would be interesting. The two characters were voiced by Judge himself back in the day. He didn't offer any ideas of who he would cast in the roles, but he did suggest to them that Beavis is probably homeless by now, which makes sense. It would be pretty funny if Butt-Head ended up being ultra-successful? I don't know how that would happen, but it would be amusing.
There's no indication that this revival would actually happen, but the fact Judge is out there talking about it and sharing his ideas is a sign that maybe one day it could happen if there's a demand for it. As a fan of the show growing up, I would love to see it happen. I'm incredibly curious to see what these two characters would be like in a live action series.
