'King Of The Hill' Revived By Hulu

The animated series will return with its original creators and cast.

January 31, 2023

Hulu announced today that King of the Hill is coming back to television. The streaming service has ordered a reboot of the iconic animated series that will bring back co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, as well as the original voice talent.

The show debuted in 1997, airing a total of 259 episodes across 13 seasons. During that time it received critical acclaim and accolades, including an Emmy Award in 1999 for Outstanding Animated Program. It was also named as one of Time Magazine's greatest TV shows of all time.

"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," said Craig Erwich, president, ABC Entertainment, Hulu and Disney Branded Television Streaming Originals. "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."

Set in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas, King of the Hill follows the life of Hank Hill, a propane gas salesman; his wife Peggy, local Boggle champ and substitute teacher; and their 13-year-old son, Bobby, who defies any expectation his father had for a son. Hank's friends, along with Peggy's friends, help the Hills navigate a changing world.

As others have noted, Pamela Adlon is definitely not dead. That being said, I'm really looking forward to new episodes. This show was a big part of my youth and always brought me joy :)

Maybe Brenda was thinking of Brittany Murphy, the actress that played Luanne?

It will be sad without Luanne and Lucky, but I’m excited to see our old friends again. I can’t wait to see what Bobby is up to.

@Brenda

Do you mean Brittany Murphy who voiced Luanne?

It's sad she won't be there, but I think they can still do the show.

@Brenda Anderson: If you're talking about Pamela ADLON, who voiced Bobby. She's still alive.

Wait what? Not sure who Pamela Aldon is, but Pamela Adlon is not dead, weirdo. Stop spreading lies.
