The animated series King of the Hill is receiving an all-new revival. The original series ran from 1997 to 2009 and delivered a hilarious look at everyday life in a way that few animated sitcoms have managed to achieve. Now series creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels are returning for the King of the Hill revival, the first look at which you can see below.
The original series existed in a time-frame that more or less lasted a few years, and as you can see in the first look, the King of the Hill revival takes place in our much more modern era. Fans can see the classic set of characters – Hank Hill, Dale Gribble, Bill Dauterive, and Boomhauer – as they stand in the alley just like the original show often depicted. We also getting a look at Peggy Hill and Bobby Hill as well.
However, they seem to have had their traditional lives impacted by current technology and trends, which includes drones, Mega Lo Eats, and a virtual reality headset. Here's the image:
The cast of characters will once again have the voices of Mike Judge as Hank Hill, Stephen Root as Bill Dauterive, and Judge as Boomhauer as well. Sadly, Dale actor Johnny Hardwicke passed away in 2023. It's been said that he recorded dialogue for some episodes – but it's unknown just how his character will be handled beyond that.
Nevertheless, fans are eager to see how this new take on King of the Hill pans out, especially with the characters having been aged up to match the world around them. This includes Pamela Adlon's Bobby Hill, the son of Hank and his wife, Peggy Hill, who will finally be depicted as a grown adult. It's an exciting time for audiences as we wait for our return to Arlen, Texas.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the new continuation of King of the Hill set to premiere on Hulu as we have them. For now, however, this first look certainly illustrates what we can expect both old and new to see in the show.
