Billy Strings Covers ‘King of the Hill’ Theme for Hulu Reboot

The beloved animated series King of the Hill returned for its 14th season on Hulu after a 15-year hiatus, featuring much of the original voice cast and continuing the story with the Hill family adjusting to changes after returning from Saudi Arabia. A standout feature of the reboot is the updated theme song, "Yahoos and Triangles," originally by The Refreshments, now reimagined with a bluegrass twist by acclaimed musician Billy Strings and his bandmates, adding banjo, fiddle, and acoustic guitar elements. The end credits showcase this fresh take, which has been well received by fans who appreciate the attention to detail and the blend of bluegrass energy with the show's nostalgic tone. John Frizzell returns to score the season, maintaining continuity in the show's musical identity alongside Strings' contribution. Strings, who recently performed with Dead & Company at their 60th-anniversary shows, expressed enthusiasm for being part of the King of the Hill revival, which balances the humor and heart of the original with new musical and narrative elements. The 10-episode season is available now on Hulu, marking a successful comeback for the iconic series.
