Netflix Renews Never Have I Ever for Season 2; Comedy Central Reviving Beavis and Butt-Head
Netflix comedy series Never Have I Ever has been renewed for Season 2! But that's not the only thing series star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan wound up telling her co-stars...more on that in the video announcement. In the coming-of-age comedy series from Mindy Kaling about the complicated life of a modern-day first generation Indian American teenage girl, inspired by Kaling's own childhood, after a traumatic year, all an Indian-American teen wants is to go from pariah to popular — but friends, family and feelings won't make it easy on her. The series stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Poorna Jagannathan, Richa Moorjani, Jaren Lewison, Darren Barnet, Ramona Young, Lee Rodriguez and narrator John McEnroe.
Comedy Central announced an expansive deal with Emmy(R) Award-winning Mike Judge to reimagine MTV's seminal, Gen X-defining Beavis and Butt-Head, as well as additional spin-offs and specials. Launched in 1993, Beavis and Butt-Head quickly became a force in pop culture and started a television revolution with its pure, unadulterated, satirical commentary on youth and adolescence. Centered around two teenage couch potatoes, "Beavis" and "Butt-Head," the unprecedented concept immediately became part of the vernacular in a way no other adult animated series had before. Known for tackling social issues including teen obesity, workers' rights and media trends, the show connected with an entire generation, laying claim as one of the most innovative series in the modern-day zeitgeist.
In this new iteration, "Beavis" and "Butt-head" are entering a whole new Gen Z world.Comedy Central has ordered two seasons of the new series with meta-themes relatable to both new and old fans - Gen X parents and their Gen Z kids. Judge is set to write, produce and provide voice over for both iconic characters.
