Comedy Central’s “Drunk History” is returning with three new short-form episodes this fall after a long hiatus. The series, created by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner, combines inebriated storytellers with reenactments of historical events. Multiple outlets report the new installments are the first original episodes in years.
The episodes are released through Comedy Central’s YouTube channel. Consequence specifies a start date of September 15. Variety frames the return as occurring seven years after the show’s last Comedy Central finale. Deadline similarly describes the comeback as the series’ first original installments in years, while noting the new episodes are short-form and part of this year’s return.
Across the reports, the core premise remains consistent: viewers get historical “facts” alongside comic, off-the-cuff narration, with reenactments reflecting the show’s distinctive tone. While each outlet highlights the timing and distribution slightly differently, all agree on the number of episodes, the short-form format, and the focus on YouTube as the release platform.
