Hulu Unleashes King of the Hill S15 Trailer, Greenlights Two More Seasons
King of the Hill is officially back! Hulu just dropped the trailer for Season 15, set to premiere on July 20. But here's the kicker: Hulu has already greenlit Seasons 16 and 17, confirming the beloved animated sitcom's long-awaited return isn't just a one-off.
Fans have clamored for more Arlen, Texas, since the show wrapped its original run in 2010. Creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels are back at the helm, joined by showrunner Saladin K. Patterson. This return isn't just a nostalgia trip; Season 15 sees Hank and Peggy settling into retirement, navigating suburban life and their eccentric neighbors. Meanwhile, Bobby embarks on an entrepreneurial journey, tackling new challenges while maintaining old friendships.
The revival made a splash at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where Judge presented a pre-release preview and received the Honorary Cristal for his contributions to animation. The core voice cast returns, with Toby Huss stepping in as Dale Gribble, honoring the late Johnny Hardwick's iconic performance. This multi-season commitment signals a significant vote of confidence for a show that remains a cultural touchstone.

It's a reminder that great character-driven storytelling, much like in many beloved anime, transcends cultural boundaries and resonates with audiences for decades. We're eager to see how this classic American family adapts to new times.
