“King of the Hill Star Initially Upset by Peggy’s Changes for Revival”
teen years ago, and the animated series is coming back with a new wave of episodes on Hulu. This new era for the series brings back these classic characters at much older stages of their lives, and it means fans are going to see much different takes on their fan favorites after all this time away.
Kathy Najimy, the voice star behind Peggy Hill, shared her initial reaction to seeing the script and the changes to her character. She admitted that at first, she was “freaked out” about Peggy being a decade older in the revival. However, she soon realized that this change opened up new opportunities for storytelling and character development.
During a conversation with the ComicBook, Najimy mentioned, “Were you guys freaked out when you read that we were 10 years [older]?” She acknowledged that it took her a moment to adjust to the changes but ultimately saw it as a positive move to explore new stories and character arcs.
Najimy also expressed her excitement about the additional backstory that was introduced in the revival, particularly the idea of Hank and Peggy living in Saudi Arabia. She felt that this fresh perspective added depth to the characters while retaining the essence of who they were before.
As King of the Hill Season 14 prepares to make its debut on Hulu on August 4th, fans can expect to see the beloved characters navigating new challenges and experiences in a changed Arlen, Texas. While there is no official confirmation about a Season 15 yet, the cast and creative team seem to be hinting at more episodes in the future.
