Plot Synopsis
This half-hour animated comedy series depicts the life and times of blue-collar everyman Hank Hill, his family, and their neighbors in the fictional suburb of Arlen, Texas. Hank is a proud Texan and works as a propane salesman, and his wife Peggy is a substitute teacher and Boggle champ. They live with their only son, Bobby, who is often the target of ridicule from his peers and his father due to his lack of interest in sports or typical masculine activities. The neighbors of the Hill family include: military barber Bill, a lonely and overweight man who is often the butt of jokes due to his unfortunate life circumstances; Dale, a conspiracy theorist and exterminator who is constantly at odds with Hank; Boomhauer, a womanizing bachelor who speaks mostly in unintelligible mumbling; and Kahn Souphanousinphone, a wealthy businessman with a quick wit and sharp tongue. Peggy's friends Minh and meteorologist Nancy, and Bobby's friend Connie help the Hills navigate a changing world.

On Tuesday, January 31, 2023, Hulu announced that it's reviving KING OF THE HILL. The animated series will star original voice talent including Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Stephen Root, Pamela Adlon, Johnny Hardwick and Lauren Tom. The reboot has been in the works since the 2017 San Francisco Sketchfest, where Judge and Daniels reconnected with the cast and celebrated the 20th anniversary of the series.
"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. "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."
"Yeah, man I tell you whot man, that dang Ol' Greg, talking about 'O.G.' and then that Mike Judge ... Inspirations, man ... the original show, dang ol' classic ... Got my kids, man, walking around talking about 'That's my purse! I don't know you!' Feeling blessed, man, I tell you whot 'Feel so Good' is a great song, I don't care what no-dang-body says ..." said showrunner and executive producer Saladin Patterson.
"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. 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!,'" said Marci Proietto, executive vice president, 20th Television Animation.
