Like Beavis and Butt-head before, King of the Hill is also making a comeback. Hulu has ordered a new revival series.
The updated version comes from Mike Judge and Greg Daniels as well as Saladin Patterson. All three are executive producers on the project and Patterson is showrunner. Judge will once again lead the voice cast with original cast members Kathy Najimy, Stephen Root, Pamela Adlon, Johnny Hardwick, and Lauren Tom all returning.
Saladin Patterson had this (in-universe) comment on the new series…
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 …
Patterson recently worked on ABC’s reboot of The Wonder Years and was an EP on the FX series Dave. He’s also worked on Frasier, Psych, The Bernie Mac Show, and The Big Bang Theory.
Craig Erwich, President of ABC Entertainment, Hulu and Disney Branded Television Streaming Originals had this to say.
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. 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.
King of the Hill ran for 250 episodes from 1997-2009 on Fox.
This is the second show from that amazing Fox animation run to get a revival on Hulu after Futurama was ordered for a 20-episode season last year.
