Drunk History is returning with new episodes seven years after the comedy show last aired on Comedy Central.
The Emmy-winning series will be back with three new short-form episodes, marking a fresh installment for the Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner project after its Comedy Central finale.
The format remains the defining hook: Drunk History features inebriated narrators recounting historical events while performers act out the stories in reenactments. The series’ premise keeps the underlying facts and dates intact, while the spoken dialogue in the reenactments is not presented as historically accurate.
The return is notable because it brings back a comedy brand whose identity depends on a very specific collision of historical storytelling and off-kilter performance. Rather than announcing a full-length season, the latest comeback is limited to three short-form episodes, according to the available information.
Waters and Konner’s series previously aired on Comedy Central, where its original run ended seven years ago. The new episodes revive the title in a shorter format, though additional details about the rollout were not included in the supplied material.
What Happens Next?
For now, the confirmed news is the return itself: three new short-form episodes of Drunk History are on the way. Release timing, distribution plans and episode-specific subjects have not been specified in the verified source material.
