King of the Hill: Here's everything to know about season 14's long-awaited comeback
By Aman Shukla Published on July 29, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated July 29, 2025, 10:28 IST 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.

Dave Nemetz Reviews King of the Hill: Yup, Hulu's Revival Has Aged a Bit, But Still Delivers Texas-Sized Laughs
Like Hank Hill, I'm naturally skeptical of anything new. So I was a bit worried when Hulu announced they're bringing back the animated comedy King of the Hill for new episodes — only because the original Fox run was so impeccable, and I'd hate for anything to taint that. Then I got more worried when I learned the new King of the Hill would be set years later, with a grown-up Bobby Hill (!). Is nothing sacred? (Please hear that in Bobby Hill's voice, and giggle along with me.) But I shouldn't have worried: Hulu's new King of the Hill — premiering Monday, Aug. 4; I've seen the first four episodes — has the same warm, down-home appeal of the original, with the voice cast effortlessly slipping back into their old roles. Really, setting aside Bobby's adulthood and a few wrinkles on Peggy's face, most of the new King of the Hill could've aired back in 1998, and it would've fit in seamlessly. The nods to the absurdity of modern life, though, are golden, giving Hank and his pals plenty of new things to complain about. (Can you believe the world of conspiracy theories actually caught up to Dale Gribble?) More from TVLine Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reboot Adds 5 - Including Severance and Frasier Vets Chuck Mangione, Jazz Musician and King of the Hill Guest Star, Dead at 84 Chris Meloni Joins, William H. Macy Circling Hulu's NFL Drama From Dan Fogelman The joy of King of the Hill — which enjoyed a healthy 13-season run on Fox that ended in 2009 — lies in how grounded it is. Yes, it's an animated series, but it never took off into fantasy land with rocket ships and superpowers. Instead, co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels always kept it rooted in small-town America, spinning a humble family sitcom in the fictional Texas town of Arlen. King of the Hill was never as laugh-out-loud funny as The Simpsons — except maybe when Bobby learned the self-defense technique of 'That's my purse!' — but it was comfortingly low-key, with plenty of warm chuckles along the way. And Hulu's revival nobly carries on that tradition, maintaining that low-key vibe while bringing Hank and company into the 2020s… whether they like it or not. As the revival kicks off, the stubbornly traditional Hank (Judge) and his wife Peggy (Kathy Najimy) are just returning to Arlen after spending several years in Saudi Arabia, where Hank worked as — of course — a propane consultant. They return home to find their hometown mostly unchanged… although Hank's friend Bill (Stephen Root) did freak out a bit during COVID and became a paranoid recluse, bearded and bed-ridden. Hank and Peggy's son Bobby (Pamela Adlon) has grown up, though, and is now a chef at his own restaurant, cooking up Japanese-style robata. Just don't ask if he's using propane. It does take a minute to get used to seeing and hearing a grown-up Bobby — I was not prepared to consider Bobby Hill as a sexual being — but Adlon's squeaky voice, though a bit lower here, is once again a joy, and just like he did in the original series, Bobby steals the show. The rest of the gang is pretty much how we remember them, thankfully: Peggy is still chipper and confident. Bill is still lonely and pathetic. Dale is still slinging wild conspiracy theories (and COVID has given him lots of ammunition). Boomhauer is still mumbling unintelligibly. Plus, Hank gets to be annoyed by all kinds of modern innovations, from Uber drivers to Zoom calls to barbecue grills equipped with Wi-Fi, for some reason. There are a few differences longtime fans will notice: Hank's airheaded niece Luanne, voiced by the late Brittany Murphy, isn't in the revival — and that's for the best, really, since Murphy was irreplaceable. (Johnny Hardwick, who originally voiced Dale, passed away in 2023, and Toby Huss takes over for him midway through the season.) Aside from a few cosmetic differences, though, Hulu's new episodes slip right into the show we know and love. The premiere has to spend time setting things up and reintroducing everyone, but the episodes after that just feel like vintage King of the Hill. It's a lot like the Alamo beer that Hank and his friends sip in the alley: nothing too flashy, but always reliable — and, in its own way, kind of timeless. THE TVLINE BOTTOM LINE: Hulu's revival brings back the comfortingly low-key vibe of the original, along with a few smart updates.

New trailer for 'King of the Hill' reboot is here. When does Season 14 premiere on Hulu?
America's favorite animated Texan is making a return. After a 15-year hiatus, Hank Hill returns to Arlen as "King of the Hill." The original series ended in 2010. With the series returning with a new plot, here is what you need to know about the new trailer before the show's official date. "King of the Hill" will stream on Hulu on August 4. What has Hank and his family been up to since the show's hiatus? Hank, after spending time in Saudi Arabia working on a propane initiative to secure his retirement and that of Peggy's, is seen returning to Arlen in the trailer for Season 14 of "King of the Hill." The revival explores the challenges they face as they confront the numerous changes that have occurred since they left. Bill, Dale (now voiced by Toby Huss following Johnny Hardwick's passing), and Boomhauer remain fixtures in Arlen. As shown in the trailer, they're still up for gathering in the alley with Hank while sipping a few Alamo beers. But, like Hank, they're also navigating the realities of a modernized Arlen, complete with craft beers, gender-neutral restrooms, and ride-share apps like Uber. Meanwhile, Bobby Hill is thriving in Dallas as an Asian fusion chef, maintaining close ties with childhood friends like Connie. With his father struggling to adapt after years abroad in the Middle East, Bobby steps into a guiding role, helping Hank find his footing in a world that has evolved well beyond his comfort zone.
