Hulu has made a habit of bringing back beloved animated series from the dead over the past few years to mostly positive results. In 2020, the platform teamed with Warner Bros. to revive Animaniacs for a three-season run that scored multiple Daytime Emmy wins and was largely hailed for recapturing the magic of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. The platform also resurrected the beloved sci-fi comedy Futurama back in 2023, securing the Planet Express crew for four new seasons and counting. Most recently, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball picked up from where The Amazing World of Gumball ended in 2019, now being renewed through its fourth season as well.
However, despite only airing one season so far, the long-awaited revival of King of the Hill has arguably been Hulu’s most successful so far. Executive produced by original co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels and showrun by Saladin Patterson, the series finally returned to Arlen, Texas, to catch up with the Hill family 15 years later, after Hank and Peggy moved back after years of working a lucrative propane job in Saudi Arabia and readjusted to life on a much-changed Rainey Street. With its approach to having the Hills navigate modern America, Season 14 earned widespread acclaim from critics, including a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 9/10 review from Collider’s Nate Richard. After years of waiting since more propane and propane accessories were ordered in 2023, audiences also turned out in droves, racking up 4.4 million views in the first seven days of streaming and making it the most-viewed adult animation season premiere in five years between both Hulu and Disney+.
At the time, King of the Hill was picked up for two revival seasons, and now, nearly one year after the show returned, Hulu has revealed when Hank and his pals will line up by the fence once again. All ten episodes of Season 15 are set to debut on Monday, July 20. Accompanying the date was a new poster with a few hints as to what’s in store for the residents of Rainey Street, as well as an official synopsis. Hank and Peggy will continue settling into retired life in the upcoming run, all while trying to keep Dale, Bill, Boomhauer, and the rest from getting out of hand. From the new art, it appears Hank may also be considering getting a new dog to finally fill the hole left by his beloved bloodhound Lady Bird.
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.
You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.
You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
The remaining cast members of the original Emmy-winning comedy are all back for Season 15, including Judge, Kathy Najimy, Stephen Root, Lauren Tom, and Toby Huss. Pamela Adlon is also back as Bobby, who will be navigating old friendships and the many stresses of being an entrepreneur running his own restaurant. Tragically, this will be the first season not to feature Johnny Hardwick as Dale Gribble in any capacity. The actor passed away during the production of Season 14, with Huss covering the rest of the erratic, conspiracy-loving neighbor’s lines in his absence. Longtime John Redcorn actor Jonathan Joss also died last year, and the series paid tribute to him in the season finale.
King of the Hill returns for Season 15 on July 20 on Hulu. Check out the first poster above.
