Hulu Orders King of the Hill Reboot

Hulu has given a series order for a revival of the animated hit King of the Hill, from 20th Television Animation.

The reboot will be created and executive produced by original co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, as well as incoming executive producer and showrunner Saladin Patterson. Additionally, 3 Arts’ Michael Rotenberg and Howard Klein and Bandera Entertainment’s Dustin Davis serve as executive producers of the show.

The new series will take place in fictional Arlen, Texas, in the present-day U.S. It will feature original voice talent, including Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Stephen Root, Pamela Adlon, Johnny Hardwick and Lauren Tom.

The Emmy-winning series originally ran for 13 seasons on FOX and now streams on Hulu.

“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 of 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.”

Patterson added: “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 …”

Marci Proietto, executive VP of 20th Television Animation, said: “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!’”
