King of the Hill: Hulu Orders Revival Of Classic Series!

 

Hulu isn’t done with revivals by a long shot. Almost this time last year my new favorite streamer had announced that they had opted to revive Futurama with new episodes slated to hit this summer 2023. Now, the network is teaming with Greg Daniels and Mike Judge on the revival of another classic adult animated comedy, King of the Hill. 

Most of the voice cast, minus the departed Brittany Murphy (Luanne) and Tom Petty (Lucky), are coming back to reprise their roles including Judge (Hank Hill, Boomhauer), Kathy Najimy (Peggy), Pamela Adlon (Bobby), Johnny Hardwick (Dale),Lauren Tom (Minh, Connie), and Nancy (Ashley Gardner). No word yet on Toby Huss reprising his role as Kahn Souphanousinphone of whom is of Laotian ancestry, but it seems doubtful. Saladin Patterson is the new showrunner and EP with 20th Television Animation handling production duties and Bandera Entertainment producing.

Synopsis:

King of the Hill depicts the life and times of Hank Hill (Mike Judge), his family and their neighbors in the fictional suburb of Arlen, Texas, the heartland of America. A hard-working, loyal family man and proud Texan, Hank is assistant manager of Strickland Propane. He’s a blue-collar Everyman who sees himself as the voice of common sense and reason in a world of incompetent sales clerks, meddling bureaucrats and do-good liberals.
