Beavis and Butt-Head are heading back to the couch—again.

MTV’s hit ’90s animated series about a pair of snickering teenage couch potatoes is returning to the airwaves, but this time the show will air on Comedy Central.

The network, which like MTV is owned by ViacomCBS, has made a deal with series creator Mike Judge for two new seasons of Beavis and Butt-Head, which will reimagine the duo as Gen Zers. Comedy Central said it will appeal to both Gen Xers who grew up with the show and their Gen Z kids.

Judge will once again voice both characters, and will write and produce the series.
