KING OF THE HILL Revival Officially Moving Forward at Hulu
It’s actually happening! After years of rumors, reports, and speculation, it’s been officially announced that King of the Hill is getting a revival at Hulu! I couldn’t be more excited about this because I love King of the Hill! That was one of my favorite shows back in the day! This news makes me happy.
Creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels will return and executive produce alongside showrunner Saladin Patterson (The Wonder Years) and the original voice cast will be coming back as well! That cast includes Kathy Najimy, Stephen Root, Pamela Adlon, Johnny Hardwick and Lauren Tom.
Craig Erwich, president, ABC Entertainment, Hulu and Disney Branded Television streaming originals said in a 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.”
While we don’t have a lot of other details to share, it was previously reported that if the show returned it 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.
During its original run, King of the Hill earned six Emmy nominations (winning one) for outstanding animated program.
