King of the Hill Revival Arrives on Hulu: 10 Episodes Available
Hulu has brought back “King of the Hill” after a 15-year hiatus, dropping Season 14 on Aug. 4 with all 10 episodes at once. The revival transports the Hills to a modern Arlen where Hank and Peggy return from an overseas adventure, and Bobby is now in his 20s pursuing a career as a chef. It’s a mix of the familiar and the fresh, with propane still reigning supreme even as the neighborhood’s Wi-Fi speeds up.
Most of the original voices are back, overseen by co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, with showrunner Saladin K. Patterson at the helm. The season pays tribute to past cast members, particularly Johnny Hardwick, who had recorded episodes as Dale Gribble before his passing. Toby Huss steps in to continue the role after Hardwick. The creative team also makes updates to reflect modern standards while weaving in nods for die-hard fans.
The updated storyline embraces 2025 without feeling like a lecture: episodes are shorter and tighter, released for binge-watching, and touch on themes like misinformation, Bobby’s adult life, and changes in Texas. The show maintains its characteristic deadpan humor, humanity, and occasional weirdness, proving that it’s possible to evolve the characters while keeping the essence of the Hill family alive.
In a surprising turn of events, “King of the Hill” Season 14 has been a resounding success from start to finish. New showrunner Saladin Patterson nails the landing, delivering a season that fans won’t want to miss.
