King of the Hill Season 14 returns on Hulu with time-jump revival on THIS date
Originally aired on Fox from 1997 to 2010, the series ran for 13 seasons and became known for its sharp yet heartfelt portrayal of small-town life in Arlen, Texas.
The new 10-episode season picks up years later and acts as a direct continuation of the original.
One of the biggest changes is Bobby Hill, who was a middle schooler throughout the original series. In the revival, Bobby is now an adult, living in Dallas and working as a chef. Hulu released a first look from the new season, showing an older Bobby and a familiar setting with a time-lapse opening that tracks the Hill family moving out of and back into their home.
According to Hulu's official description, Hank and Peggy Hill return to Arlen after years working in Saudi Arabia, ready to retire and reconnect with old friends — including Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby enjoys his life in his 20s, alongside former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane.
Most of the original voice cast is back, including Mike Judge (who also co-created the series), Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Stephen Root, Lauren Tom and Toby Huss. Johnny Hardwick, who voiced Dale, passed away in August 2023 after completing some recordings for the revival.
The revival is executive produced by Judge and Greg Daniels, with Saladin Patterson as showrunner. The series is produced by 20th Television Animation.

‘Only Murders in the Building' Season 5 trailer: Another new death at the Arconia
The Arconia is once again at the centre of a mystery as Only Murders in the Building heads into its fifth season. Hulu released the first trailer for the upcoming instalment, revealing that the latest victim is none other than the building's doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca). Returning sleuths Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) quickly dismiss the idea that Lester's death was accidental. Their investigation pulls them into a network of secrets involving wealthy power players, old-school mob figures, and the Arconia's own enigmatic residents. Season five promises to take the trio beyond their familiar Upper West Side haunt, contrasting the 'old' New York with a newer, more dangerous version where traditional crime syndicates clash with emerging threats. Familiar faces including Michael Cyril Creighton, Meryl Streep, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Nathan Lane, and Richard Kind will reprise their roles. New cast members for the season include Renée Zellweger, Keegan-Michael Key, Christoph Waltz, Logan Lerman, Téa Leoni, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, and Jermaine Fowler. Created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, who also serves as showrunner, the series blends murder mystery with comedic chemistry between its three leads. Executive producers include Martin, Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman, Jess Rosenthal, Ben Smith, and JJ Philbin. The series has built a devoted following since its 2021 launch. Season 5 will debut on September 9 with a three-episode premiere, followed by weekly releases.
