Hank Hill Returns to a Changed World in New ‘King of the Hill’ Episodes
ARLEN, TEXAS, AUG 3 – Season 14 of King of the Hill returns on Hulu with older characters adapting to modern life, reflecting societal changes and preserving the show's Texas identity, creators said.
- King of the Hill returned with season 14 on Hulu in August 2025, featuring 10 episodes and older versions of the main characters after a 15-year break.
- The revival followed the show’s greenlighting in January 2023 and was developed under showrunner Saladin K. Patterson, who aimed to address modern social issues while respecting original fans.
- The story features Hank and Peggy Hill returning to Arlen, Texas after working in Saudi Arabia, with character voice actors adjusting to older roles and some recasting due to the death of Johnny Hardwick.
- Johnny Hardwick recorded seven episodes as Dale Gribble before his 2023 death, and Toby Huss took over the role starting with episode eight, which is dedicated to Hardwick.
- The successful revival led Hulu to greenlight a 15th season before season 14 aired, signaling confidence in the series balancing vintage sensibility with contemporary themes and character growth.
