KING OF THE HILL Revival Open Credits Reveals Adult Bobby Hill — GeekTyrant
Hulu has released the opening credits sequence for Mike Judge and Greg Daniels's revival of the hit animated series King of the Hill , and it offers a first look at Bobby Hill, all grown up! It's so weird and wild seeing Bobby as an adult! Everyone else looks pretty much the same! It previously reported that the revival would be set 15 years after the original show ended and center on the middle-class Hill family living a normal life in Texas in the wake of Trump's presidency. The synopsis reads: "After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed Arlen, Texas to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane." Bobby is 21 years old and it was explained that he has "loved food his whole life." He has a fusion restaurant, and his career as a robata chef "was inspired by his most cherished memory of all — weekends spent grilling with his dad.' A biography for Bobby further details that Bobby is a "self-taught chef" and "one of the youngest contestants on King of the Grill." Pamela Adlon, who voiced Bobby Hill on the original show, will return to voice the character. She said: "We're in the second season [creating] the reboot, and Bobby is 21. 'He's a chef in a fusion restaurant in Dallas. And it's been incredible. It's just been really fun. I think it's been freakier for Mike and Greg to think about Bobby going from 12 to being 21 and having a relationship and being a person. 'But don't we all go through that with our kids and our friends' kids? It is shocking when I see my friends' kids and they're all grown up. And I'm like, 'Wait a second, what just happened?' So, it's just a little bit of a mess." Craig Erwich, president, ABC Entertainment, Hulu and Disney Branded Television streaming originals said in a previous statement: 'We are all so excited to welcome back Hank, Peggy and Bobby, and to see what they have to say about the world we live in and continue the conversations we began years ago. 'This show has all of the perfect ingredients to meet this moment in animation at Hulu, and we're so thankful to be having those conversations alongside this talented group.' King of the Hill will premiere on Hulu on August 4, 2025.

Tell Ya What, Hulu's King of the Hill Reboot Has a Clip and Release Date: How to Watch
Get ready to return to Arlen, Texas, with the first season of the long-awaited rebooted King of the Hill from creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels. On Friday, Hulu posted a clip of the opening sequence and revealed the release date, which is Aug. 4. You'll be able to stream all ten episodes exclusively on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. The opening sequence, which thankfully kept the catchy original theme music, tells us that the reboot will pick up years after the original's end. Bobby Hill is an adult, and Peggy and Hank are drawn a bit older. Original characters like Dale and Boomhauer are also in the clip. Various events are referenced in the scene, like face masks during the pandemic, and Dale running for mayor of Arlen. A drone even brings in some Alamo beer. We don't know how the show will address all the original voice actors who have passed away since the show wrapped in 2009, including Brittany Murphy as Luanne and Tom Petty as Lucky. Johnny Hardwick, the actor who voiced Dale Gribble, passed away during production. Hardwick reportedly did some of the voice-over work for the new show. You can expect many members of the original cast to return. Mike Judge will be back as Hank Hill and Boomhauer, Kathy Najimy returns as Peggy and Stephen Root is back as Bill Dauterive. And I can't forget about Pamela Adlon as Bobby.
