Creator of King of the Hill Mike Judge provided an encouraging update regarding a programme return. When Judge and co-creator Greg Daniels said they would be starting their own animation business, Bandera Entertainment, rumours of the animated sitcom having a rebirth emerged in January. Although specifics are yet unknown, it was speculated that the revival, which is anticipated to debut soon, will take place 15 years after the show’s conclusion.
King of the Hill, which aired from 1997 to 2009, established itself as an animated sitcom with likeable characters and topics that were applicable to everyday life. The characters of the imaginary Texas town of Arlen are Hank Hill, a hard-working traditional American man, and his family, friends, and neighbours. King of the Hill enjoyed commercial and critical success throughout its entire 13 season run, winning accolades and nominations, before Fox cancelled it in 2009.
At San Diego Comic-Con 2022, Judge made an appearance to talk about the Paramount+ reincarnation of Bevis and Butt-Head, but curious fans questioned him about the King of the Hill remake. The show “has a very high chance of coming back,” Judge retorted, fueling rumours of the revival and raising fans’ anticipation for the return of the programme. Judge’s words appear to be a positive promise that a resurrection is in the works, even though Daniels has stated that a deal has not yet been reached to revive King of the Hill. The complete statement from Judge is below.
