The renewal of King of the Hill raises questions about John Redcorn’s future

King of the Hill fans, get ready for some exciting news—your favorite animated series is making a big comeback on Hulu! After a 15-year gap since its original run on FOX, the show is set to return for three more seasons. But with this revival comes a big question mark around the character of John Redcorn.

You see, Jonathan Joss, the original voice behind John Redcorn, tragically passed away before the release of Season 14 this Summer. Despite his untimely death, Joss was able to reprise his role as John Redcorn in the revival. Now, fans are wondering what the future holds for this iconic character on the show.

In Season 14, John Redcorn returns after a decade, with new storylines and a continued presence in the series. He has an internet show with Nancy, helps Joseph, and even starts a red corn selling business. It seems like the showrunners had plans for him to stick around. In fact, the revival ends with a tribute to Jonathan Joss, showing their love and appreciation for his contribution to the show.

When it comes to handling the loss of voice actors, King of the Hill has taken different approaches. Some characters were retired, while others were recast. So, what will they do with John Redcorn? Will he be recast with a new voice actor, or will the character be written out of the show as a way to honor Joss’s memory?

It’s uncertain how much of the new series Joss was able to record, but there is speculation that a new voice actor may step in to continue the character’s story. After all, King of the Hill has recast characters before when original voice actors passed away. It’s a bittersweet decision that the show’s creators will have to make in the upcoming seasons.
