An official listing confirmed the King of the Hill reboot episode count, hinting at its eventual release date.
King of the Hill originally aired on Fox for 13 seasons from 1997 to 2010, maintaining steady ratings and critical acclaim throughout its run.
After being officially ordered by Hulu in 2023, production on the King of the Hill reboot wrapped in October 2024.
Hulu’s revival will age up key characters, with Bobby Hill entering adulthood, while also navigating the challenge of replacing late voice actors like Johnny Hardwick.
King of the Hill Reboot Episode Count Confirmed
A new listing on the Writers Guild of America (WGA) website notes that the King of the Hill revival will have 10 episodes in its first season.
The listing details episode credits for Season 14, set to air sometime this year, with 10 episodes written by a mix of returning and new writers.
By the last season, Hank’s conservative views became less of a joke and more of “the conservative voice is sane and the woke liberals are bad”. Plus Mike Judge was friends with Alex Jones and endorsed him. I always sensed a whiff of him being a closet Republican.
I wouldn’t say Republican just hardcore libertarian. Which is still bad.
King of the Hill had a lot of fantastic writers and staff working on it, but it ran for a very long time. The politics of the show vary wildly as it goes on. The worst episodes in the show are the ones where it feels like Mike Judge personality saw half of a Fox News headline and got mad about trans fat bans or bond measures or the ADA. In some episodes it’s a progressive show and in some it feels like the Mike Judge Twig Boy Hate Soapbox Hour.
Also Idiocracy basically promoting eugenics
It would be a way better movie if you just cut out that trash at the beginning. Even then it’s iffy, but there’s some bits of it that are very good and some bits that are very bad. But the eugenics angle really makes it hard to go back to now that I’m not a teenager.
