New trailer for 'King of the Hill' reboot is here. When does Season 14 premiere on Hulu?
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.

Bold and earnest, with terrific chemistry: Here's what critics are saying about 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps'
Marvel's newest superhero movie landed in theaters on July 25. Early reviews for The Fantastic Four: First Steps are in: It's a reboot worth watching. Set in a retro-futuristic, midcentury America, The Fantastic Four: First Steps follows Marvel's First Family — Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) — as they work to protect Earth from a planet-consuming space god named Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). Following its release on Friday, the film's commercial success is already apparent. Marvel's latest superhero flick has earned a whopping $24.4 million in previews, surpassing Superman's $22.5 million previews high from earlier this month. In addition to nabbing the best preview result of the year so far, First Steps is projected to make between $100 million and $110 million in its opening weekend, according to Variety. The film has already received better reviews than its 20-year-old predecessor. The Los Angeles Times criticized 2005's Fantastic Four for its lack of 'a strong, dramatic through-line,' while Entertainment Weekly called it a 'clumsy, cheesy and chintzy adaptation' with special effects that look 'dated the moment you see them.' Roger Ebert gave the original film a single star rating, calling it 'in short, underwhelming.' Here's a roundup of some of the early reviews for The Fantastic Four: First Steps: A possible cure for 'superhero exhaustion' Variety says that while director Matt Shakman gives 'the Fantastic Four sufficient time to establish their personalities,' the film, at times, resembles 'a live-action take on 'The Jetsons.'' Still, First Steps, per the outlet, 'feels like a fresh start' and could be 'just what it takes to win back audiences suffering from superhero exhaustion.' 'A smooth-enough ride that can even be periodically thrilling' The New York Times commends the film for being 'Marvel's most earnest attempt at something daring in years, bumpy as it may be,' while also wishing for a more fleshed-out backstory that doesn't rely on 'the pre-existing groundwork of a previous movie.' First Steps' 'premium cast' and 'the polish of this retro universe' take viewers on 'a smooth-enough ride that can even be periodically thrilling,' the Times writes, despite being 'a family drama disguising itself as a superhero film.' 'A worthy exercise in creating something that doesn't feel nostalgic an era' The Los Angeles Times praises the film for bypassing character origin stories while still 'underlining that these are settled-down grown-ups secure in their abilities to lengthen, disappear, ignite and clobber.' With 'emotionally credible performances' from its stars and a vibrant world for them to play in, the publication says the reboot is 'a worthy exercise in creating something that doesn't feel nostalgic for an era — it feels of an era.' 'The actors are so terrific and their chemistry so palpable…' A standout feature of First Steps is the chemistry between the cast, as the Hollywood Reporter writes, 'The actors are so terrific and their chemistry so palpable that the hangout scenes in their fabulous Baxter Building penthouse — with a domestic droid that's like Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons meets Number 5 from John Badham's Short Circuit — are some of the movie's most appealing interludes.' The publication also praises screenwriters Josh Friedman, Eric Pearson, Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer for crafting a superhero quartet that is 'also a family, struggling like most of us to handle the most daunting responsibilities life throws our way.' The 'cosmic-level escapism we desperately need right now' NPR lauds the film's embrace of the 'soaring appeal of superhero cinema,' as well as its commitment to 'exactly the kind of cosmic-level escapism we desperately need right now.' First Steps, with its 'retina sizzling' and 'retro-futurist visuals,' is intentionally — and expertly — ungrounded, leaving 'groundedness sulking glumly on the ground where it belongs.' A 'solid, intelligent, occasionally inspired comic book movie' The film's 'dazzling setting,' with its ability to 'evoke a jumbled-up amalgamation of things we've seen and things we've only dreamed of,' is reason enough to watch it, according to On top of its top-tier look, the outlet also commends First Steps for being 'a solid, intelligent, occasionally inspired comic book movie' that manages to live up to audience expectations, thanks to its 'grounded' performances and thoughtful production design.

Stream These 10 TV Shows and Movies Before They Leave Netflix in August
Several notable television shows are departing Netflix in the United States this month, including sitcoms, action drama and a meta-textual examination of the medium itself. Also leaving the service in August: a Cannes-winning drama, a zany buddy comedy and an inspired slice of slasher horror. (Dates reflect the first day titles are unavailable and are subject to change.) 'My Wife and Kids': Seasons 1-5 (Aug. 5) Stream it here. When Damon Wayans burst on the comedy scene in the early 1990s, he was such a live wire — profane, provocative, uproarious — that it would've seemed nutty to compare him to Bill Cosby. But in 2001, approaching middle age, he took a page from the Cosby playbook, creating a sitcom showcase for himself as the patriarch of an upper-class Black family. Formulaic though it may be, 'My Wife and Kids' is consistently funny, with Wayans in fine form as the beleaguered dad; the 'Martin' alum Tisha Campbell-Martin as his career-minded wife; and, for three seasons, Damon Wayans Jr. displaying his skill for the family business. (Bonus: Unlike with 'The Cosby Show,' you can watch it now without feeling nauseated.) 'Ballers': Seasons 1-5 (Aug. 15) Stream it here. This HBO dramedy is a smart, funny, pointed and frequently accurate portrait of the business of professional sports. Dwayne Johnson (then still billed with his wrestling moniker 'The Rock' between names) stars as Spencer, a former football player who has become a finance manager and who has made it his mission to show his fellow athletes the path to fiscal security. Johnson makes expert use of his considerable charisma while still providing the supporting cast (including Rob Corddry, Omar Miller and John David Washington) with plenty of opportunities to shine. 'Baby Mama' (Aug. 16) Stream it here. After their success on 'Saturday Night Live' (especially as the first two-woman desk on 'Weekend Update'), Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took their frisky byplay to the big screen in this giddy, fast-paced maternal comedy. Fey, sticking fairly close to the persona she established in '30 Rock,' stars as an uptight, career-minded single woman who can't have a biological baby. Enter Poehler as her surrogate mother, an irresponsible hell-raiser who gives our heroine more than she bargained for. The writer and director Michael McCullers wisely hews to the dynamics of classic comedy teams, with Fey as the straight woman and Poehler as the wild child; their snob vs. slob relationship specifically (and delightfully) recalls Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in 'The Odd Couple.' 'Thanksgiving' (Aug. 17) Stream it here. For a good long while, the best film in the rather uneven filmography of the horror director Eli Roth was a short: his winking faux-trailer for a Thanksgiving-set slasher movie, one of several fictitious coming attractions used as filler for the exploitation-style double feature 'Grindhouse.' So it was good, common sense for Roth to expand that burst of laughs and gore into this 2023 feature, in which a crazed killer in pilgrim attire hacks his way through a small Massachusetts town over the holiday. Opening with a Black Friday sale gone horribly (and hilariously) awry, Roth's film deftly mixes blood-soaked suspense with witty winks to previous holiday horror classics like 'Halloween' and 'Silent Night, Deadly Night.' 'Gangs of London': Seasons 1-2 (Aug. 19) Stream it here. The kinetic action movie director Gareth Evans ('The Raid: Redemption,' 'Havoc') created (with Matt Flannery) this kinetic, thrilling adaptation of the London Studio video game. And while the phrase 'video game adaptation' may not promise much, Evans — who wrote and directed several key early episodes — and a pool of talented writers and directors make 'Gangs' into a pulpy, breathless blast. And there are no slouches in the cast: Joe Cole ('Peaky Blinders') is terrific as the heir apparent to a London crime family while Colm Meaney is ferocious as his father and mentor.
