What’s worse than a long-running, fan-favorite TV show getting canceled? Probably nothing. But for King of the Hill fans, they can rejoice now that Hulu has confirmed the release date and synopsis of its revival! For the past several years, fans have been teased with news of a potential continuation of the animated sitcom after it got axed in 2009 following 13 seasons.
News47.us has all the details you need to know about the King of the Hill revival below.
Hulu’s synopsis of the King of the Hill revival 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.”
Season 14 of King of the Hill will premiere on Hulu and Disney+ with Hulu on August 4, 2025.
The season 13 finale of King of the Hill premiered in 2009.
Fox surprised fans in 2008 when it announced that King of the Hill was canceled after 13 seasons on the air. At the time, the cancelation news came amid a separate announcement from Family Guy creator, Seth MacFarlane, who was making a spinoff called The Cleveland Show, which was slated to fill King of the Hill‘s time slot.
At the time, ratings for King of the Hill were still considered high, so it’s unclear why Fox canceled it.
