King of the Hill Is Reportedly Getting Another Season Coming Next Year

The King of the Hill has reclaimed his throne, with the revival Season 14 bringing successful 4.4 cardinal viewers successful its archetypal week and garnering affirmative captious reception, including from us. So fans volition astir apt beryllium blessed to larn that this wasn't a one-and-done revival. According to a Vulture report, a 2nd play has already been recorded and is successful the enclosure for adjacent twelvemonth - adjacent earlier Hulu knew the show's instrumentality would beryllium a hit.

The study says that erstwhile Hulu archetypal announced the King of the Hill revival successful 2023, it ordered 20 half-hour episodes. But with play 14, we lone saw 10 of them. That's allegedly due to the fact that the different 10 person been banked for a 2nd play planned to aerial sometime adjacent twelvemonth connected Hulu, making for a Season 15. The show's producers and writers were frankincense capable to travel up with storylines and quality choices that accommodated 2 seasons alternatively than conscionable one, allowing them much clip and state for definite plotlines.

If play 15 is arsenic beardown arsenic 14, though, that could lend viewers immoderate anticipation that adjacent much seasons mightiness beryllium greenlit. Per Vulture, it seems apt that conversations astir renewal volition apt beryllium happening soon, and enthusiasm is precocious with King of the Hill expected to debut astatine No.2 connected Nielsen's streaming originals and wide streaming ratings charts, 2nd lone to Netflix's Wednesday.

A King of the Hill revival 15 years aft the archetypal concluded was ever a risky move. Some of the archetypal dependable actors person passed away, some earlier and aft taping Season 14. The U.S. has changed dramatically (as Hank Hill himself discovers upon returning from Saudi Arabi astatine the commencement of Season 14). A indispensable clip skip meant that characters person aged, with Bobby possibly seeing the astir melodramatic changes (even if successful galore ways he's inactive the same). Given each that, it's unthinkable that Mike Judge and Greg Daniels managed to instrumentality the landing - and hopefully volition proceed to bash truthful successful Season 15 adjacent year.
