It's a two-season pickup for the animated comedy.
October 30, 2025
Hulu announced today that King of the Hill has been renewed for Seasons 16 and 17. The streamer has ordered 20 new episodes that will be split across the two seasons. The news comes ahead of the animated comedy's 15th season, which is slated for sometime in 2026.
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.
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.
The Season 14 revival picked up several years after we last saw the Hill family - Hank and Peggy are now retired and return to a changed Arlen after years of working in Saudi Arabia; and Bobby is 21 and living his best life while navigating adulthood as a chef in Dallas.

Reboot has done a great job at staying true to the OG, while moving into the 2020s. Hank and Peggy as folks in their 60s works really well.

LOL.... I wasn't telling you what to think, just offering a counter point. Relax snowflake.
I did watch the original series, and rewatched it in anticipation of the new season.
Go cry more about it. I'll enjoy the next few seasons while you're wiping tears away.

@Plop You do not have the right to tell me what to think. I stand by my opinion. I did not ask for yours so I will have your silence. Sucking Saudi Arabia's d*ck like he does in nearly every episode is not a Hank thing to do. You should watch the original series.
Also that country is not new to propane. That's why they had a Saudi propane company in the reboot in the first place. This reboot fails the original series.

@Brenda, why are you complaining? You've been crying for years that Seth Macfarlane got King of the Hill cancelled, and now you're crying that it's back. Do you just live to be miserable?
@Rufus, I get what you're saying, but when you consider it's more about the propane than the location, it makes sense. He got to introduce propane to a foreign land. Doing that is definitely a Hank Hill thing to do.
@Matt, I agree that it's better now than the latter seasons of the original. New ideas to explore with a lot of cultural changes.
@Bob, it wasn't just deaths, but they decided to re-voice some of the ethnic characters, particularly Khan, because of cultural reasons. But yes, it's sad we lost some of our friends over the years. Wish they could have all been here for this to see the show become successful again.
Glad it's renewed for a few seasons. I loved having it back.

I felt like new season was as good or better than it was before it was canceled. The new voices you can tell difference but you get used to it. It was very fresh and hip to times imo.

Well this is just stupid.

For me it was hard getting used to the new voices. So many original cast members have died. They were close, but just off enough...

I'm still hoping the reboot gets as good as the original. Or at least the later seasons. Hank selling out to Saudi Arabia of all things was almost a deal breaker. Its just not something he would do.
