King Of The Hill Revival Premieres August 4 On Hulu With Major Character Updates

The revival of the beloved animated series King of the Hill is set to premiere on Hulu on August 4, 2025, bringing back Hank Hill, his family, and friends for a 14th season. The new opening sequence reveals significant changes in Arlen, Texas, including Hank and Peggy moving away for several years while Hank worked a propane job in Saudi Arabia to fund their retirement, and Bobby now working as a fusion chef in Dallas. During their absence, an unknown character moved into the Hill house, and Dale Gribble ran for mayor, though the success of his campaign is uncertain. The sequence also hints at ongoing storylines such as Nancy Gribble's continued affair with John Redcorn and Bill struggling with the Hills' absence, including a visual implying he may have contracted COVID-19. While some longtime characters such as Luanne and Lucky are absent due to the deaths of their voice actors, the revival maintains the original’s blend of humor and social commentary, aiming to reflect changes over the past 15 years while preserving the show's classic tone. Fans have mixed feelings, with some nostalgic excitement tempered by concerns over missing characters and the direction of the new episodes.
