Hulu has ordered two more seasons of the revived animated series, the 16th and 17th overall and third and fourth seasons as a streaming original (King of the Hill aired on Fox for its 13-season original run). Season 14 premiered in August and is the first half of Hulu’s initial two-season, 20-episode order; season 15 is set to debut in 2026.
Comedian and “The Daily Show” host/correspondent Ronny Chieng has joined the cast of Hulu’s upcoming “King of the Hill” revival, taking over as the voice of fan-favorite character Kahn Souphanousinphone.
The time skip feels natural, and even though I was initially skeptical about the premise that Hank and Peggy moved to Saudi Arabia for years (seems so out of character for them), I now appreciate how it allows us to see the Hills react to the ways life in the US has changed. It was a great choice.
Stephen Root, Lauren Tom and Toby Huss discuss releasing the animated reboot in a changing TV landscape and how the show handles the absence of characters differently, with on-screen credit tributes to Johnny Hardwick and Jonathan Joss.
Saladin K. Patterson talks to The Hollywood Reporter about how he kept the revival’s sense of humor and characters true to the original, and writing for a Disney-owned streamer about a present-day Texas community.
Hulu will be back at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, and this year, the adult animation destination is bringing King of the Hill’s Arlen, Texas to life right outside the Convention Center. Guests can step inside Hank Hill’s Backyard for a big ole cookout, complete with BBQ bites served up throughout the day, classic lawn games, themed photo ops and a cold can of Alamo (water) to beat the heat.
As you can see, there are a few stories touched on in the brief clip. Bill adds to a pile of burning books while an unknown character serenades the scene. Bobby and Hank seem to be trapped in a walk-in cooler or storage room, possibly at Bobby’s restaurant. Boomhauer joyfully embraces a reluctant Hank.
Connie practicing ethical non-monogamy is a fun change for the new series as it not only opens up King of the Hill to explore a new kind of change in culture since the original series, but also could influence how she relates to Bobby in the new episodes. It’s currently unclear as to whether or not Bobby has ever gotten back together with Connie following the end of their relationship in the classic series, but with the two of them still hanging out it’s likely that Connie is open to the idea.
