King of the Hill
Updated: 12/10/2025, 5:37:47 PM Wikipedia source
King of the Hill is an American animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels that initially aired on Fox from January 12, 1997, to September 13, 2009, with four more episodes airing in syndication from May 3 to 6, 2010. The show would later be revived on August 4, 2025, starting with season 14 on Hulu and Disney+ with Hulu. The series follows the Hills, an American family who live in the fictional city of Arlen, Texas, as well as their neighbors, co-workers, relatives, classmates, friends, and acquaintances. The show's realistic approach seeks humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life, blue-collar workers, family conflicts, and the trials of puberty. Judge began creating King of the Hill during his time making the MTV series Beavis and Butt-Head, which he also created and voiced the characters for. After pitching the pilot to Fox, Judge was paired with Greg Daniels, an experienced writer who previously worked on The Simpsons. The series debuted on the Fox network as a midseason replacement in 1997, before episodes of The Simpsons and The X-Files, quickly becoming a success. The show became one of Fox's longest-running series, with a total of 259 episodes over the course of its 13 seasons. Four episodes from the final season were planned to air on Fox, but later premiered in nightly syndication in May 2010. The show would later be revived in August 2025 with 10 extra episodes, with the current total of 269 episodes. King of the Hill was met with widespread acclaim and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animated shows of all time. The series has won two Emmy Awards and has been nominated for seven. Its celebrity guest stars include Texas Governor Ann Richards, Brad Pitt, Chuck Mangione, Tom Petty, Alan Rickman, Meryl Streep, Ben Stiller, Matthew McConaughey, Michael Keaton, Jennifer Aniston, Johnny Depp, and numerous country music artists―including Randy Travis. The series' popularity led to worldwide syndication, and cable reruns currently air on FXX, having aired on Adult Swim, FX and Comedy Central in the past. On January 18, 2022, Judge and Daniels announced the formation of a new company called Bandera Entertainment, with a revival of King of the Hill being one of several series in development. On January 31, 2023, Hulu announced it had picked up the revival for two seasons. The revival premiered on August 4, 2025, with the new season airing on Hulu and Disney+ with Hulu. On October 30, 2025, Hulu renewed the series for two more seasons.
