===2022–present: Second film and revival=== Over a decade after the last iteration of the series, the series was again revived, this time in the [[Streaming television|streaming era]] for [[Paramount+]]. The concept of relaunching the show a second time came from Judge, who created a concert intro for the band [[Portugal. The Man]] using the characters. He had not intended to return to the characters again, but found performing the voices fun. He entered discussions with [[Paramount Global]], which was met with more "enthusiasm" than its previous MTV incarnation.<ref name="Greene 2022 m641"/> The show was originally set to debut on [[Comedy Central]],<ref name="secondrevival" /> but was moved to help launch Paramount+. This revival also encompasses additional spin-offs and specials; a second feature film entitled ''[[Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe]]'' premiered on June 23, 2022, to kick-off the new series.<ref>{{cite web |last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |date=February 15, 2022 |title=Paramount+ To Become 'South Park's Global Streaming Home In 2025, 'Beavis and Butt-Head' Revival Moves From Comedy Central To Streamer |url=https://deadline.com/2022/02/paramount-to-become-south-park-streaming-home-beavis-and-butt-head-revival-moves-to-streamer-1234934303/ |access-date=February 15, 2022 |website=Deadline Hollywood}}</ref> The ninth season followed on August 4, 2022, with its tenth season debuting on April 20, 2023.<ref>{{cite web |last=Petski |first=Denise |date=March 8, 2023 |title='Mike Judge's Beavis And Butt-Head' Gets Season 2 Premiere Date On Paramount+; Watch Teaser |url=https://deadline.com/2023/03/mike-judges-beavis-and-butt-head-season-2-premiere-date-paramount-plus-teaser-watch-1235282803/ |access-date=March 9, 2023 |website=Deadline}}</ref> In addition, in 2022 Paramount+ announced they were to host the full library of over 227 original episodes, newly remastered, with music videos intact for the first time.
