After 15 years, it’s finally happening—King of the Hill is returning, and fans couldn’t be more excited. Hank Hill and the gang are back in Arlen, Texas, bringing all the propane-fueled charm and dry humor we’ve missed. Whether you grew up with the show or just discovered it, Season 14 promises both a hefty dose of nostalgia and some timely, grown-up storytelling.
When Does King of the Hill Season 14 Come Out?
Mark your calendars: the new season drops on August 4, 2025, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. All 10 episodes will be released at once, so go ahead and plan your binge. International viewers can catch the revival on Disney+ via the Hulu Hub.
This marks the first new season since the original series wrapped back in 2010. Hulu gave the green light for the reboot in January 2023, and fans got a sneak peek—including an updated intro showing a grown-up Bobby Hill—during the ATX Television Festival in May 2025.
Who’s in the Cast?
The new season brings back most of the original voice actors, with a few changes and new additions that reflect real-life losses and fresh storylines.
-
Mike Judge returns as both Hank Hill and Boomhauer, keeping the heart of the show intact.
-
Kathy Najimy is back as the ever-confident Peggy Hill, now adjusting to retired life.
-
Pamela Adlon voices Bobby Hill, who’s now 21 and chasing his dreams as a chef in Dallas.
-
Stephen Root returns as the sweet but unlucky Bill Dauterive.
-
Lauren Tom continues to voice both Connie and her mom Minh Souphanousinphone.
-
Ashley Gardner reprises Nancy Gribble, Dale’s wife and the town’s news anchor.
Before his passing in 2023, Johnny Hardwick recorded six episodes as the ever-paranoid Dale Gribble. For the rest, Toby Huss (formerly the voice of Kahn) steps in. Meanwhile, Ronny Chieng is now voicing Kahn, giving the fiery neighbor a fresh twist.
We also meet some new faces:
-
Keith David joins as Brian Robertson, a tenant renting out the Hill house while Hank and Peggy were away.
-
Anthony ‘Critic’ Campos plays Emilio, a fellow chef working with Bobby.
Sadly, Luanne and Lucky won’t return, as both Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty passed away before the revival was announced. Their absence is handled respectfully, keeping their legacy intact.
What’s Season 14 About?
The show picks up years after the original finale with a time jump. Hank and Peggy are now retired, having spent some time working in Saudi Arabia (yep, really). They return to an Arlen that feels a little different—more tech, new neighbors, and a culture that’s evolved.
Meanwhile, Bobby is no longer the goofy middle-schooler we knew. He’s 21, living in Dallas, and working at a trendy “German sushi robata” restaurant (try saying that three times fast). His career choice raises a few eyebrows—especially from Hank, who still believes propane is the future.
The new season tackles some pretty relevant issues while staying true to the show’s grounded tone:
-
Cultural appropriation comes up as Bobby tries to learn about robata grilling and sourcing traditional charcoal.
-
Surveillance and misinformation are explored through Dale’s usual antics, including a wild trip to the Bush Presidential Library.
-
Aging, health, and purpose weigh on Hank as he deals with doctor visits, tax troubles, and trying to stay useful in a fast-changing world.
-
Family tension shows up when Peggy crashes at Bobby’s apartment post-MRI, and Bobby struggles to reconnect with Connie as adults.
-
And there’s a mysterious twist involving a Souphanousinphone anniversary party that hides a secret only Hank knows.
Episode titles like “Return of the King” and “Chore Money, Chore Problems” give a good idea of the tone: heartfelt, hilarious, and occasionally a little sad—in that classic King of the Hill way.
