It’s been 13 years since we last got new episodes of King of the Hill. Well after all those years of waiting, the show is finally coming back.
Today, it was announced that Hulu will be reviving the series, which premiered in 1997 and was created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels. The reboot will reunite the entire original cast, including Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Johnny Hardwick, and Lauren Tom.
“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, in a statement. “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.”
“I’m so lucky to have been a part of this show from the very beginning and couldn’t be more excited to visit Arlen, Texas, once again with Mike, Greg and Saladin, who together are bringing a whole new perspective to the original series,” said Marci Proietto, executive vice president, 20th Television Animation. “We all want to thank the fans for their overwhelming support because they helped make this happen, and I can’t wait to share this new iteration through the lens of 2023 America. In the words of our beloved Peggy Hill, Ho yeah!”
