King of the Hill: Here's everything to know about season 14's long-awaited comeback
After 15 years, it's finally happening— King of the Hill is returning, and fans couldn't be more excited. Hank Hill and the gang are back in Arlen, Texas, bringing all the propane-fueled charm and dry humor we've missed. Whether you grew up with the show or just discovered it, Season 14 promises both a hefty dose of nostalgia and some timely, grown-up storytelling. When Does King of the Hill Season 14 Come Out?
Mark your calendars: the new season drops on August 4, 2025, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. All 10 episodes will be released at once, so go ahead and plan your binge. International viewers can catch the revival on Disney+ via the Hulu Hub.
This marks the first new season since the original series wrapped back in 2010. Hulu gave the green light for the reboot in January 2023, and fans got a sneak peek—including an updated intro showing a grown-up Bobby Hill—during the ATX Television Festival in May 2025. Who's in the Cast?
The new season brings back most of the original voice actors, with a few changes and new additions that reflect real-life losses and fresh storylines. Mike Judge returns as both Hank Hill and Boomhauer , keeping the heart of the show intact.
Kathy Najimy is back as the ever-confident Peggy Hill , now adjusting to retired life.
Pamela Adlon voices Bobby Hill , who's now 21 and chasing his dreams as a chef in Dallas.
Stephen Root returns as the sweet but unlucky Bill Dauterive .
Lauren Tom continues to voice both Connie and her mom Minh Souphanousinphone.
Ashley Gardner reprises Nancy Gribble, Dale's wife and the town's news anchor.
Before his passing in 2023, Johnny Hardwick recorded six episodes as the ever-paranoid Dale Gribble. For the rest, Toby Huss (formerly the voice of Kahn) steps in. Meanwhile, Ronny Chieng is now voicing Kahn, giving the fiery neighbor a fresh twist.
We also meet some new faces: Keith David joins as Brian Robertson , a tenant renting out the Hill house while Hank and Peggy were away.
Anthony 'Critic' Campos plays Emilio, a fellow chef working with Bobby.
Sadly, Luanne and Lucky won't return, as both Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty passed away before the revival was announced. Their absence is handled respectfully, keeping their legacy intact. What's Season 14 About?
The show picks up years after the original finale with a time jump. Hank and Peggy are now retired, having spent some time working in Saudi Arabia (yep, really). They return to an Arlen that feels a little different—more tech, new neighbors, and a culture that's evolved.
Meanwhile, Bobby is no longer the goofy middle-schooler we knew. He's 21, living in Dallas, and working at a trendy 'German sushi robata' restaurant (try saying that three times fast). His career choice raises a few eyebrows—especially from Hank, who still believes propane is the future.
The new season tackles some pretty relevant issues while staying true to the show's grounded tone: Cultural appropriation comes up as Bobby tries to learn about robata grilling and sourcing traditional charcoal.
Surveillance and misinformation are explored through Dale's usual antics, including a wild trip to the Bush Presidential Library.
Aging, health, and purpose weigh on Hank as he deals with doctor visits, tax troubles, and trying to stay useful in a fast-changing world.
Family tension shows up when Peggy crashes at Bobby's apartment post-MRI, and Bobby struggles to reconnect with Connie as adults.
And there's a mysterious twist involving a Souphanousinphone anniversary party that hides a secret only Hank knows.
Episode titles like 'Return of the King' and 'Chore Money, Chore Problems' give a good idea of the tone: heartfelt, hilarious, and occasionally a little sad—in that classic King of the Hill way.

Billie Piper Recalls 'Very Last-Minute' Invite For ‘Doctor Who' Return: 'Really Fun To Film'
As Doctor Who plots a return with the eponymous Time Lord seemingly taking on the form of a previous companion, Billie Piper is reacquainting herself with the secrets of the universe. Following the Season 15 finale of the rebooted BBC One/Disney+ series, in which the Ncuti Gatwa's 15th Doctor regenerates to take the form of Piper's Rose Tyler, the actress recently recalled how she came to return to the TARDIS. More from Deadline Ncuti Gatwa Bids 'Bittersweet' Farewell To 'Doctor Who' After Two Seasons: 'Time To Hand Over The Keys To That Beloved Blue Box' BBC Pledges To Be 'Mindful' Of Spoilers After Irate Viewers Complain About 'Doctor Who' Reveal BBC Faces Pressure To Pull Last Season Of 'MasterChef' Featuring Wallace & Torode Before August 6 Launch Date 'This is such a minefield, I have to really engage with how I answer this,' she said at Florida Supercon. 'All I can say is, I was approached very last-minute, and I can't talk about in what capacity, but I found it very emotional to film, and I think it's a really great ending.' Noting she had to keep the finale twist a secret, Piper explained, 'I just found it quite moving, and it was really fun to film because it had such a sort of cloak-and-dagger feeling about getting it made. So, yeah, I have to lie a lot about anything to do with Doctor Who, it seems.' Since her original run in the first two seasons from 2005 to 2006, Piper has reprised the role of Rose on several occasions, most recently being the 2013 episode 'The Day of the Doctor', as well as the podcast series Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures in 2017. Following Piper's return in the May finale of Season 15 (Season 2 under Disney's leadership), Gatwa announced his exit from the show, explaining that the role was a 'real pleasure and honor,' but the departure 'felt like the right timing and the right energy, and it's felt melancholic and bittersweet.' 'It was always the plan to do this amount of seasons, because it's a role that demands a lot of you, physically and emotionally and mentally,' said Gatwa in a behind-the-scenes featurette. 'The actors playing the Doctor are only actors playing the Foctor; unfortunately, we are mere mortals. I would love to have the energy and the youth to be able to do this full time for the rest of my life, but my knees are telling me it's time.' Doctor Who has not yet been renewed for Season 3 at Disney+ and BBC.

‘Eyes of Wakanda' Is a Bizarrely Brief Return to the African Nation: TV Review
Creator Todd Harris and executive producer Ryan Coogler are welcoming audiences back to Wakanda in Disney+'s latest animated series, 'Eyes of Wakanda.' Venturing beyond the walls of the royal court, while remaining within the Marvel Cinematic Universe's 'Sacred Timeline' (which also houses Coogler's films), the show introduces Wakanda's CIA, the Hatut Zaraze. Tasked with recovering stolen Vibranium artifacts from across the globe, these warriors bravely expose themselves to outsiders, carrying out varied heart-pumping missions to keep their country safe and hidden. 'Eyes of Wakanda' is fun and engaging. However, it's not quite the fully realized narrative that many 'Black Panther' fans might hope to see. The series opener, 'Into the Lion's Den,' follows Noni (Winnie Harlow), a soldier recently ousted from the esteemed Dora Milaje, Wakanda's elite all-female security detail. Given the opportunity for redemption, Noni is sent on a mission to depose Nakati (Cress Williams), the former Captain of the King's Guard. Full of greed and ambition and now living under a new title, Nakati, aka the Lion, has fled Wakanda, stealing an array of Vibranum weapons to make a name for himself around the world. A rebel in her own right, Noni is assigned to bring the traitor to his knees and return the stolen items to their rightful home. Noni is desperate to get back into the Dora Milaje's good graces. Yet, the Lion's forces are a bit more challenging to overcome than she expected. More from Variety Jeremy Renner Is 'Sure' He'll Return for 'Hawkeye' Season 2 and Other Marvel Projects: 'My Body's Getting Ready' What's Coming to Disney+ in August 2025 'Eyes of Wakanda' Trailer: Black Panther's Ancient History Told in Animated Series From Ryan Coogler The duration of 'Eyes of Wakanda' Season 1 finds Hatut Zaraze's warriors at various points in history. In Episode 2, 'Legends and Lies,' B'Kai (Larry Herron), a devout agent who has been undercover for nearly a decade, finds himself an unwitting participant in Greece's war against the Trojans. In the season finale, Kuda (Steve Toussaint), a veteran operative, is responsible for mentoring Prince Tafari (Zeke Alton), who, desperate for validation as the third-born son, is all too eager to go off mission to attain personal glory. All of the episodes are well-rounded and easy to absorb. However, the standout among them is Episode 3, 'Lost and Found.' By the skin of his teeth, Agent Basha (Jacques Colimon) escapes snow-covered 15th-century China with a Vibranium-infused dragon statue. However, upon returning to headquarters in Wakanda's Golden City, he quickly realizes his covert operation has been infiltrated. To rectify his mistake and prevent his superiors from discovering his errors, he uses his charm and wit. While the majority of the episodes are serious in tone, this one infuses some of the humor and levity that was found woven throughout Coogler's live-action movies, 'Black Panther' and 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.' Though 'Eyes of Wakanda' is intriguing, the four-episode season, which consists of 30-minute stories, is extremely short. Each episode exists as a standalone, but it could also have worked as a feature-length film. 'Black Panther' film fans and those who are more familiar with the lore of the iconic kingdom are offered additional context about the Hatut Zaraze. Yet, the series feels like an epilogue or prologue rather than a complete standalone show. Still, the show is stunning to watch. Axis Animation uses a hand-painted afro-futuristic style, inspired by contemporary Black artists. Because of the varied locations throughout the first season — from Wakanda's Golden City to 12th-century Greece and 19th-century Ethiopia — each setting is vast, robust and highly detailed. Moreover, because 'Eyes of Wakanda' doesn't center on one specific character, audiences are introduced to a vast array of Wakandans across time, who have a huge stake in what will happen to their country if its exquisite resources aren't recovered. Despite its compact length, 'Eyes of Wakanda' is a solid beginning for Marvel's Phase Six. The show introduces viewers to different aspects of Wakandan culture, further reiterating the power and importance of the sacred Vibranium. Though it's not explicit, the show also nods at the horrors of racism, colonization and pillaging as well as the cost of repatriation. Beautifully rendered, the series isn't as expansive as 'Black Panther' lovers might expect, but it's a decent holdover until 'Black Panther 3' debuts. 'Eyes of Wakanda' is now streaming on Disney+.

Marvel is eyeing a specific type of actor for its new X-Men franchise - and I think it could solve a big mystery about Spider-Man 4's cast
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Marvel is reportedly searching for young actors for its X-Men movie reboot A new report suggests it'll help the studio to make a cheaper film If true, it might solve a big mystery about one of Spider-Man: Brand New Day's cast members A new report claims Marvel is looking for up-and-coming actors to play the X-Men in its rebooted film series – and, if true, it might solve one of Spider-Man: Brand New Day's biggest mysteries. Per Variety, the comic giant is eyeing younger talent to portray its iconic mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). According to an agent Variety spoke to, Marvel's decision to hire rising stars and unknown quantities is part of a new cost-cutting mandate that aims to reduce how much it spends on new movies and Disney+ shows. Variety's article, which was published yesterday (July 30), arrives just over a week after Marvel president Kevin Feige dropped the biggest hint yet over the type of star he wants to see in Marvel's untitled X-Men movie. Speaking to Nerdist, Feige, who also confirmed Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier would direct the flick after online reports claimed he would, said: "Jake has his pulse on, shall we say, a younger demographic. Not – he's younger than me, for sure – but he's tapped into that in a way that I think is important. It was important for Thunderbolts* [and] much more important for X-Men, because X-Men, as it was in the comics, will be a very youth-oriented, focused, and cast movie." What has Marvel's X-Men movie cast scouting got to do with Spider-Man 4? In some ways, Marvel's plan to scour the globe for young talent to star in its forthcoming X-Men film is similar to 20th Century Fox's approach to its own X-Men movie series reboot. The latter saw the likes of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence appear in four films – starting with 2011's X-Men: First Class – that featured a younger version of Professor X, Magneto, and company. If it's true that Marvel is seeking out less established actors to portray the MCU's X-Men to save cash, it almost certainly puts a pin in one cast rumor concerning Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Indeed, Spider-Man 4, which has just started filming in Glasgow, Scotland, is reportedly set to feature Sadie Sink in a substantial role alongside Tom Holland's webslinger. There's been no official word on which character the Stranger Things actor might play – in fact, nobody close to the movie's production has actually confirmed that she's part of proceedings. Nevertheless, one of the prevailing theories about who she could portray is Jean Grey, aka one of the most famous mutants in Marvel's storied history. In light of Marvel's apparent desire to keep costs down across the board on its X-Men project, though, the possibility that Sink could play Jean Grey is basically a non-starter. According to a Puck newsletter circulated to subscribers in January 2023, Sink is reportedly set to earn over $7 million for Stranger Things season 5. At the time, Puck indicated the wildly popular Netflix show's final season led to all of its main cast members receiving bumper new pay deals. It's difficult to corroborate Puck's claim. However, if it's true, Sink's seven-figure sum for one of the best Netflix shows' final hurrah would basically rule her out of playing Jean Grey in the MCU. Marvel isn't going to pay Sink that kind of sum if it planned on hiring her to play the telekinetic superhuman across multiple projects. Feige has already confirmed the X-Men will be front and center of the MCU after Avengers: Secret Wars wraps up the Multiverse Saga. Whoever signs on to play one of mutant-kind, then, will be in it for the long haul and Marvel will ensure they're locked into deals that won't increase their pay 10-fold every time they appear. Need more proof that hiring non-A-listers for comic book movies is the way to go from a financial perspective? Just look at Superman, the first DC Universe (DCU) movie released as part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's rebooted cinematic franchise. According to a July 2025 edition of the Puck newsletter, leading man David Corenswet was paid just $750,000 to appear in the DCU Chapter One film. That's around a tenth of what Sink is apparently going to earn from Stranger Things 5. If Marvel wants to save money, it should follow DC Studios' lead and not fork out seven-figure sums to anyone it hires to play one of the X-Men. It's for that reason alone that I'm more than convinced than ever that Sink can't possibly be playing Jean Grey in Spider-Man's next big-screen adventure.
