King of the Hill Reboot: Hulu to Release Brand New Episodes!

Yes, it looks like Hank Hill and his friends will be spending more time in their favorite alley spot.

The beloved series King of the Hill is set to continue on Hulu with an additional 10 episodes, according to Vulture, following its recent premiere on the platform earlier this month. This extension isn’t exactly a renewal, however: Hulu had originally discreetly commissioned a total of 20 episodes for the animated series’ comeback when it was first announced in 2023, but this larger order was not made public initially. The forthcoming episodes are slated for release next year. (TVLine has requested comments from Hulu.)

This revival brings back the animated Fox show that aired from 1997 to 2009. The new King of the Hill on Hulu rejoins the lives of Texas suburbanites Hank and Peggy Hill, with their once young son Bobby now an adult. The original voice cast featuring Mike Judge (as Hank), Kathy Najimy (as Peggy), Pamela Adlon (as Bobby), and Stephen Root (as Bill) have all returned to their roles. Johnny Hardwick also came back to voice Hank’s friend, the exterminator Dale, until his passing, after which Toby Huss took over the role.

The show’s return was met with significant anticipation: King of the Hill secured the #2 spot on the Nielsen streaming charts, Vulture reported, logging 1.28 billion minutes viewed in its first week.
