The new "King of the Hill" revival is set for an Aug. 5 release date on Hulu. While fans have been treated to a new opening and posters showcasing a much older-looking cast, along with returning characters — the series has dropped its first clip.

Now this is what I call a good time. All episodes of #KingOfTheHill's new season drop Aug 4th on Hulu. — kingofthehill (@kingofthehill) June 18, 2025
The clip opens with Hank admiring a baseball that was thrown out by George W. Bush, as he is touring the George W. Bush Museum with Nancy Gribble, Dale Gribble, and Peggy Hill.
In typical Hank fashion, he is impressed not only by the baseball but also by a pen that was apparently used to end offshore drilling by former President Bush.
Though Hank has a typical nature about him, there is a moment where Peggy showcases a far darker turn. She mentions to Nancy that she will take her own life if they have to remain at the museum, with Nancy quipping that she is not allowed to leave her at the museum alone.

It appears that Peggy does not share Hank's affinity for the former president, or she is quite simply bored with being at the museum. Either way, this is a stark comparison for the characters.
This is also the first time the "King of the Hill" revival has confirmed that Nancy Gribble will not only be in the series, but that she could still be married to Dale.
One of the biggest running gags in the series is how Nancy was having an affair with John Redcorn. Though she eventually ends the affair during the series' original run, anything can happen.
Ashley Gardner was the voice of Nancy through the run of the entire series, and it has not yet been confirmed if she has returned to voice the character once again.
"The King of the Hill" revival is set to stream exclusively on Hulu and features a much older cast of characters. In the new opening, it is revealed that Hank, Peggy, and Bobby have returned to Arlen, Texas.
Why the Hills have returned is still a mystery, but what is known is that Bobby is now a renowned chef.
The opening also revealed that Dale Gribble has run for Mayor of Arlen, though there is no confirmation if he actually won and is acting mayor.
