10 TV Characters Finally Returning In 2022

10. Beavis And Butt-Head - Beavis And Butt-Head

The masterful Mike Judge has had his hand in some of the best comedy of the ‘90s and beyond - Idiocracy, Office Space, Silicon Valley, King Of The Hill (also touted for a reboot) - but he continues to tout Beavis and Butt-Head as his favourite project in his career. It’s not hard to see why - Judge provides the voices for both idiotic, couch-bound teens, and the show’s pop culture spoofing looseness gives him the freedom to do essentially what he wants.

The pair were briefly brought back for a 2010 run after their ‘90s heyday, but the new version looks to be a more daring move away from the format. The TV movie, bound for Paramount+, sees the pair of chuckleheads sent to space camp in 1998; through some metaphysical nonsense they travel to modern times, where they’re baffled by the trappings of our futuristic age.

It’s not hard to imagine how this will go, but Judge’s comedy always goes beyond the low hanging fruit, and his satirical muscles have certainly sharpened over time. The opportunity to introduce a new generation to these bizarrely charming characters is also a welcome one.
