Hulu’s King Of The Hill Reboot Shows Off First Key Art

Get ready, Arlen, Texas is calling! Fans of the beloved animated sitcom King of the Hill can finally rejoice as the long-awaited revival is officially slated to premiere on Hulu this summer and we’ve got a first-look at the characters as seen in the art work.

Originally airing for thirteen seasons on Fox, King of the Hill carved a special place in television history with its grounded humor and relatable characters. The series, created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, offered a witty and often poignant look at the lives of the Hill family and their neighbors in suburban Texas.

While an exact premiere date in summer 2025 has yet to be announced, the news comes straight from the top. Eric Schrier, President of Disney Television Studios, recently confirmed the release window, stating the revival is “really good” and expressing his excitement about its return. This announcement follows reports of the show being in development since 2022, with Hulu officially picking it up in January 2023.

Details about the plot of the revival are still largely under wraps, but it has been hinted that the new series will feature a time jump, potentially focusing on a now-adult Bobby Hill. This opens up exciting possibilities for exploring new storylines and character developments while staying true to the show’s core themes.

What makes this revival particularly exciting is the confirmed return of original creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, ensuring the show’s signature wit and heart remain intact. While official casting announcements are still rolling out, fans are hopeful to see many of the original voice actors reprise their roles as Hank, Peggy, Bobby, and Boomhauer though are largely disappointed by the fact that Toby Huss won’t get to reprise his role as Kahn Souphanousinphone and what to do about the characters of Luanne and Lucky after Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty’s deaths. Hardwick was also confirmed to reprise his role as Dale Gribble, but died in August 2023 before any new episodes made it to air though it was later revealed that Hardwick had recorded “a couple” of episodes prior to his death. The cast and crew are even scheduled to make an appearance at the ATX TV Festival in late May and early June of this year, promising more details and potentially some sneak peeks for eager fans.

The return of King of the Hill to Hulu is more than just a reboot; it’s a chance to revisit cherished characters and their slice-of-life Texan experiences through a modern lens. With the creative forces behind the original series back at the helm, fans can look forward to a revival that honors the legacy of the show while offering fresh and engaging stories for both longtime viewers and new audiences. So dust off your Alamo Beer mugs and get ready to settle back into Arlen – King of the Hill is coming home this summer!
