King of the Hill Returns on Hulu: Season 15 Premiere Date Revealed
Hulu sets a summer premiere for King of the Hill Season 15, revving the hit revival into its second run.
So, if you ever wondered 'Will they ever bring back King of the Hill?' (let's be honest, that's the kind of thing you only admit to yourself), wonder no more. The Hill family and their neighbors did finally return in August 2025 with a fresh batch of episodes on Hulu and Disney+. After sitting in animation limbo for 15 years, you'd expect some rust, but the rebooted King of the Hill not only delivered, it absolutely crushed it.
The new season roared out of the gate, pulling in a massive audience and, somehow, snagging a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes. No, that's not a typo—and hey, there aren't many reboots that avoid stalling out or getting buried in their own nostalgia, but Mike Judge and crew sidestepped that fate.
What Happens Next? Hulu Has Answers
We didn't have to pace around for months to find out what's up with the show's future, either. Hulu wasted no time—it already announced Season 15's launch plan. (Yes, they count this as Season 15. Animation timelines are chaos, don't overthink it.) All ten episodes are landing at once, and you won't have to wait long: they're dropping on July 20, 2026. Hulu even dropped a teaser poster to push the hype.
What Does the Teaser Poster Reveal? (Surprisingly, A Lot)
The poster sticks with the classic alley hangout vibe straight from the old days—but with a bit of an updated look (it's 2026, what did you expect?). Hank's got on his work-ready Strickland Propane jacket and, for extra dad points, he's holding a dog leash. Bill Dauterive, ever the wild card, is strangely dedicated to a potted plant this time. Dale Gribble? He's still the poster child for conspiracy nuts, clutching a pair of caged rats in one hand and using a magnet to hold onto his beer—because naturally. And Boomhauer? As always, barely registers anything, but hey, he's now joined by three chickens at his feet. For anyone scoping out the background, Peggy and Kahn are peering nosily over the fence, right where they should be.
Who's Back? Here Are the Core Cast Members:
- Hank Hill - Still king of the cul-de-sac (and apparently dog walking now)
- Peggy Hill - Fence-snooper, no less bold than ever
- Bobby Hill - No word in this round of promo, but you know he's lurking
- Bill Dauterive - Adding 'plant guy' to his resume
- Dale Gribble - Proud new rat dad, magnet enthusiast
- Boomhauer - Unbothered, accompanied by chickens
- Kahn Souphanousinphone - Back patrolling for HOA violations near that fence
How Big Is King of the Hill's Comeback?
This isn't just a nostalgia play. The ratings and critics seem to agree: the revival isn't just reviving—it's thriving. That's no small feat for an animated series yanked out of retirement after a decade and a half, especially with so many reboots tripping over themselves these days.
'King of the Hill' Season 15, all ten episodes, streams July 20, 2026.
If you were betting on King of the Hill getting another short-lived streaming run? That ticket is already worthless. Expect propane, pest control, and chicken-induced chaos for the foreseeable future. More details as they drop.
