The latest trailer for the King of the Hill revival offers a hilarious glimpse at what fans can expect from the long-awaited 14th season. The footage reveals that Bobby Hill is now working as a chef at a hibachi restaurant and dating a vegan girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Bill has fallen into a deep depression during Hank’s time away, and Hank himself has officially retired from Strickland Propane.

In earlier announcements, Hulu revealed that Hank and Peggy had moved to Saudi Arabia so Hank could take a high-paying contracting job to build their retirement savings. Now that they’re back in the U.S., Hank isn’t returning to work, he’s fully retired and adjusting to his new life.

As for Bobby and Connie, it looks like they’ve chosen to stay just friends. The trailer hints at Bobby’s love life taking a new turn, as he shares some...

Hulu has released a trailer for its upcoming King of the Hillrevival series, giving fans their best look yet at the long-awaited Season 14. The sneak peek proves that a lot has changed in the last 15 years, but Hank Hill is still stuck in the past as he struggles to embrace the convenience of modern living and pretty much everything else that has altered around him. The recent retiree returns to Arlen, Texas, where he is forced to navigate Zoom calls, gender-neutral bathrooms, ride-hailing services, veganism, fake sports, and worst of all... fruity beer.

Hank would like to think it's his world and everyone else is just living in it, but unfortunately for him, those living in it have moved with the times while he is still stuck in his ways. Even his now-adult son Bobby, who has made a career for himself as an accomplished chef working at a fusion restaurant in Dallas,...

Hank Hill returns home and finds that his hometown is just a bit off in the newly released trailer for the new King of the Hill sequel season. The show’s synopsis reads, “Set in the fictional Arlen, Texas, the original series followed the life of Hank Hill, an enthusiastic seller of propane and propane accessories; his wife, Peggy, local Boggle champ and substitute teacher; and their son, Bobby, who defied any expectation his father had for a son. Hank’s friends – conspiracy theorist Dale, military barber Bill, and cool but inarticulate Boomhauer, along with Peggy’s friends Minh and meteorologist Nancy, and Bobby’s friend Connie helped the Hills navigate a changing world.”

Mike Judge returns for the new episodes, and just like his Beavis and Butt-Head revival, the Hills are doing their best to navigate “advances” of the modern world with Uber drivers, gender identity confusion and fruity beer.

During its original run on Fox, King of the Hill provided opportunities for performers from all over the Southern U.S. states: Beth Grant (Alabama); Trace Adkins (Louisiana); Diedrich Bader (Virginia); Mary Kay Place (Oklahoma); Stephen Root and Tom Petty (Florida); Johnny Knoxville and Lane Smith (Tennessee), and of course the contingent from Texas, including Peri Gilpin, Glenn Morshower, Johnny Hardwick, Jonathan Joss and Mike Judge. Somehow, though, a show that crossed over with 30 Rock for several years never booked the actor whose role as Kenneth the Page made him synonymous with the state of Georgia: Jack McBrayer.

Based on the evidence of a new clip from the revival season, that seems like it’s about to change.

In the scene, Hank (Judge) is visiting Dallas’ George W. Bush Library with his wife Peggy (Kathy Najimy), and their friends Nancy and Dale Gribble (Ashley Gardner and Toby Huss). The...

The long-awaited King of the Hill revival is set to premiere on Hulu on August 5, and a newly released clip has fans buzzing.

The sneak peek introduces an updated Hill family and confirms the return of a key character, Nancy Gribble, alongside the show’s signature quirky humor.

In the clip, Hank and Peggy Hill, along with Dale and Nancy Gribble, visit the George W. Bush Museum. Hank is overjoyed, marveling at a baseball thrown by the former president and a pen used to stop offshore drilling. Peggy, however, is bored and jokingly tells Nancy she might end her life if forced to stay longer.

Nancy quips back, “You’re not allowed to leave me here alone,” delivering the deadpan humor fans love. The scene confirms Nancy, previously voiced by Ashley Gardner, is back, though it’s unclear if Gardner will reprise the role. Her marriage to Dale appears intact,...

The King of the Hill revival is finally getting closer, and Hulu has dropped the first clip from the new season. The show is coming back on August 5, and fans are already picking apart every little detail from the short preview.

Along with a brand-new intro showing an older version of the Hill family, the clip also confirms the return of another original character: Nancy Gribble.

The scene shows Hank, Peggy, Nancy, and Dale visiting the George W. Bush Museum. Hank, of course, is thrilled. He’s geeking out over a baseball that was thrown out by George W. Bush himself.

But he’s just as impressed by a simple pen used to end offshore drilling. Classic Hank — getting excited about the most random political memorabilia.

But things take a weird turn when Peggy, clearly not enjoying herself,...

In the latest teaser from the revival, Hank Hill fixes Bobby with a dead-serious stare and quips, “You must be a professional comedian if you think I’m going to let you take over for me.”

Despite Bobby’s advancement in age and success as a chef in Dallas, Hank still won't budge when it comes to the sacred duty of manning the grill. It’s a humorous yet heartfelt exchange that perfectly reflects their classic father-son dynamic, where growth is acknowledged, but Texad traditions stands firm.

When it comes to propane and grilling, Hank Hill hasn’t changed a bit.

Fans of King of the Hill can get ready to return to Arlen, Texas, as the beloved series makes its long-awaited comeback with a brand-new 14th season, premiering August 4th exclusively on Hulu.

This marks a major shift from the show’s original home on Fox’s Sunday Animation Domination lineup.

A few hours before I was scheduled to moderate the “King of the Hill” reunion/revival panel last Friday at Austin’s Atx TV Festival, I got to watch the first two episodes of the series’ highly anticipated upcoming return. Most of the show’s main characters are back, but have aged since we last saw them in 2009: Hank and Peggy are retired, and Bobby is now a successful 21-year-old sushi chef.

Among the supporting characters, in Episode 2 we see neighbor Nancy Gribble (voiced by Ashley Gardner) – as well as the object of her not-so-secret love affair, John Redcorn (voiced by Jonathan Joss). Gardner and Joss weren’t included on the Atx panel, as it was meant to be a small gathering led by creators Mike Judge (also the voices of Hank Hill and Boomhauer) and Greg Daniels. Also on stage were just three additional actors: Pamela Adlon (who...

Hulu has dropped the first teaser trailer for the upcoming King of the Hill revival series, and y’all ain’t ready for adult Bobby! The teaser consists of the new opening credit sequence, which, at first glance, seems a lot like the original. However, the seasons (and years) quickly change, until the Hill family moves away, and Bill, Boomhauer, and Dale actually get a new neighbour for a bit. Thankfully, Hank and Peggy move back to their old house and are joined by their now adult son.

Set to premiere on August 4, the 10-episode season finds “Hank and Peggy Hill 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 and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph, and Chane.“

It’s not unheard of,...

Hulu’s upcoming King of the Hill revival appears poised to explore the contrast between a rapidly changing world and the steadfast Texas traditionalism of Hank Hill.

The newly released poster teases this dynamic perfectly: Dale is immersed in virtual reality and puffing on a vape, Boomhauer is casually scrolling through a smart tablet, and Bill is placing a food delivery order from an Uber Eats pastiche.

In stark contrast, Hank remains frozen in time—looking and dressing exactly as he did when fans last saw him back in the show’s original finale, which aired on September 13, 2009. The image sets the stage for a comedic clash between old-school values and 21st-century life.

Hulu ordered a revival of King of the Hill over two years ago, and the first official look at the new animated series has arrived in the form of a brand-new poster. You can check that out below.

Most animated shows keep their characters at the same age forever, but the revival of King of the Hill will find the series leaping forward in time. As you can see, the gang are looking a little older (with Boomhauer somehow looking like he’s aged the most) and good ol’ Hank Hill is just as exasperated by modern technology as you would expect. Bill is receiving a food delivery by Mega Lo Eats, Dale is wearing a VR headset and vaping, and Boomhauer is immersed in his tablet. In the background, a drone is delivering a case of Alamo beer.

King of the Hill is just one of the many IPs Disney revived after purchasing Fox, and the series is getting closer to its Hulu release. The animated sitcom ran between 1997 and 2010 and the revival will continue the story.

In a series of pictures shared on her Instagram account, voice actor Grey DeLisle revealed the highly-anticipated first look at Bobby Hill from the new King of the Hill animated sitcom. The character is now all grown up, taller than he was in the series, and he sports a beard now. He will also be working as a chef in the revival series.

King of the Hill fans were shocked to learn of the death of Johnny Hardwick last week. The actor was best known as the voice of Dale Gribble, Hank Hill’s conspiracy-obsessed neighbour on the animated series. When it was officially announced that Hulu had ordered a King of the Hill revival earlier this year, Johnny Hardwick was expected to return, but did he actually get the chance to record any episodes before his death?

According to TVLine, Johnny Hardwick had completed work on “a couple” episodes of the King of the Hill revival. Hopefully this means that we’ll get to hear the actor’s pitch-perfect take on Dale Gribble just one more time. As far as the rest of the episodes of the revival go, it’s not certain if someone else will take over as the voice of Dale or if they’ll retire the character.

Johnny Hardwick completed work on “a couple” episodes of Hulu’s forthcoming King of the Hill revival prior to his death earlier this month, TVLine has learned.

Hardwick voiced Hank’s bestie/neighbor, the chain-smoking, conspiracy-obsessed bug exterminator Dale Gribble in all 258 episodes of the erstwhile Fox series. It remains unclear if another actor will be brought in to finish what Hardwick started in the revival, which is slated to bow in 2024.

Johnny Hardwick, who voiced the conspiracy-minded character Dale Gribble on King of the Hill, died August 8 at his home in Austin, Texas. He was 64.

Hardwick and his character with the distinctive Texas drawl had been with the Emmy-winning animated series since its debut in 1997 through its final episode on Fox in 2010. Earlier this year, Hulu, where the reruns currently stream, announced that Hardwick would return for the series’ streaming revival.

The actor’s death was confirmed by the Austin coroner’s office. No foul play is suspected, and a cause of death is pending per the coroner’s investigation.

Philip Baker Hall put his stamp (yes, pun intended) on Seinfeld in 1991, cementing his spot as arguably the greatest one-time guest to drop by the iconic NBC sitcom.

The film and television actor whose career spanned decades died Sunday. He was 90.

Hall stole the show when he played library investigations officer Lt. Joe Bookman in the season three episode “The Library.”

Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) learns that the copy of Tropic of Cancer he checked out from the New York Public Library in 1971 was never returned, and he has a fine on the books. The case is turned over to Lt. Bookman, who Hall plays perfectly as a Sgt. Joe Friday-type from the police series, Dragnet.

Last week, we reported that Fox's venerable TV show, King of the Hill, had been cancelled after 13 seasons. The animated series has slipped in the ratings and the network has other animated series like Mitch Hurwitz's Sit Down, Shut Up and Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show waiting in the wings. In what seems to becoming a growing trend of TV shows jumping networks, the Mike Judge co-created King may find life on another channel.

King debuted in 1997 and tells the story of blue-collar Hank Hill and his family and friends from Texas. The series stars the vocal talents of cancelled TV show veterans like Judge (Beavis and Butt-head), Kathy Najimy (Veronica's Closet), Pamela Adlon (Lucky Louie), Stephen Root (NewsRadio), Brittany Murphy (Sister, Sister), Toby Huss (Carnivale), David Herman (Futurama), Ashley Gardner (The Drew Carey Show), and Lauren Tom (Men in Trees).
