King of the Hill Season 14 returns on Hulu with time-jump revival on THIS date
More than a decade after its original run ended, 'King of the Hill' is officially returning to screens. The much-loved animated comedy will premiere its 14th season on Hulu on August 4, the streamer has announced.
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.

Actor Jonathan Joss, Known For 'King of the Hill', Fatally Shot Dead Outside His Texas Home
'The officers attempted life saving measures until EMS arrived. EMS pronounced the victim deceased," San Antonio police said in a statement. Joss' husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, confirmed the actor's death to The Associated Press in a text. The two were married earlier this year on Valentine's Day. In an email, San Antonio police did not immediately provide any information on what prompted the shooting. In a statement, de Gonzales said he and Joss had previously faced harassment, much of it 'openly homophobic." Joss' husband said the person who killed the actor yelled 'violent homophobic slurs" before opening fire. 'He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other," de Gonzales said. Before the shooting, de Gonzales and Joss were checking mail at Joss' home, which had been heavily damaged during a January fire that claimed the lives of their three dogs. A man approached the two and threatened them with a gun, de Gonzales said. 'Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life," de Gonzales said in a statement. After the shooting, authorities arrested 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja and charged him with murder in Joss' death. Court records did not list an attorney who could speak on behalf of Ceja, who was being held in the Bexar County Adult Detention Center. In a statement, San Antonio police said its investigation 'has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation." 'We take such allegations very seriously and have thoroughly reviewed all available information. Should any new evidence come to light, we will charge the suspect accordingly," police said. Joss, who grew up in San Antonio, was best known as the voice of John Redcorn, a Native American character on the popular 'King of the Hill" animated series that ran for 13 seasons from 1997 to 2008. A reboot of the show is set to start in August. Joss also had a recurring role on the television show 'Parks and Recreation," playing Chief Ken Hotate. He appeared in two episodes of the series 'Tulsa King" in 2022. A GoFundMe page had been set up in January for Joss after the house fire. According to the page, Joss had lost all of his belongings in the fire, including his vehicle. Before he was fatally shot, Joss had been in Austin, located about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northeast of San Antonio, for events related to a sneak peak of the 'King of the Hill" revival. On Saturday, Joss had posted a video on Instagram in which he said he was signing autographs at a comic book store in Austin. 'The fans get to revisit 'King of the Hill' again, which I think is an amazing thing because it's a great show," Joss said in the video, adding he had already done voice work on four episodes of the revival.
