Fans of animated sitcoms have a date to mark: King of the Hill returns with a new season on July 20, 2026, when all 10 episodes of Season 15 arrive on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. The revival continues to expand quickly — the show was renewed for further seasons even before viewers had finished watching Season 14.
What’s coming in Season 15
Hulu describes the new season as a quieter chapter for the Hill family, with Hank and Peggy shifting into retirement and trying to contain the chaos in their neighborhood. Meanwhile, Bobby faces the complicated realities of entrepreneurship and strained friendships as he grows into his own life.
The series keeps its familiar ensemble: Mike Judge and Greg Daniels remain central creative forces, and principal voice actors return to their roles. After the 2023 death of Johnny Hardwick, Toby Huss assumed the voice of Dale Gribble — a change that the production has woven into its revival era.

Production and franchise momentum
Produced by 20th Television Animation, the revival pairs the original creators with a new production team that has moved quickly to rebuild the Arlen universe for streaming audiences. The decision to drop an entire season at once reflects streaming-era habits and gives viewers a chance to binge rather than wait week to week.
That momentum matters beyond nostalgia. The quick renewals signal confidence in the series’ performance and help secure long-term plans for character arcs and guest casting. For a show that originally chronicled small-town life and slow cultural shifts, the revival era is testing whether those stories still land in a post-network streaming landscape.
What viewers should watch for
Expect familiar rhythms — suburban routines, low-key humor and social satire — mixed with new beats tied to retirement, entrepreneurial pressure and generational friction. Hulu is expected to release a full-length trailer in the weeks ahead; until then, the streaming platform’s synopsis and cast list offer the clearest hints about tone and direction.
All previous seasons are already available on Hulu, so viewers can catch up before the July 20 launch. With multiple seasons already ordered, the revival appears set to be a multi-year presence on streaming — a notable outcome for a show that spent 13 seasons on broadcast television and has now been reshaped for a new era.
