Grab a cold one and head to the alley, because Hank Hill and the boys will be waiting for you there. Hulu has renewed King of the Hill for Seasons 16 and 17, following the triumphant premiere of Season 14 this summer and the planned premiere of Season 15 in 2026.
King of the Hill returned to streaming television after a 15-year hiatus, following the show’s end on Fox in 2010. Nearly everyone from the core cast returned for the revival, including Mike Judge (also a co-creator alongside Greg Daniels), Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Johnny Hardwick, Stephen Root, Lauren Tom, and Toby Huss; Huss had been a longtime recurring voice actor on the show, and stepped in to take over the role of Dale after Johnnie Hardwick’s sad passing in 2023.
Season 14, which premiered this August, featured a time jump in which Hank and Peggy found themselves returning to Arlen, Texas after several years abroad — an Arlen and an America they have a little trouble recognizing at first. The show’s return received near-universal critical acclaim (including from Consequence), and premiered in second place on the Nielsen streaming charts.
Season 15 was actually produced at the same time as Season 14, for as Vulture recently explained, the original order for Season 14 was 20 episodes, which was then split into two 10-episode seasons. So the show getting another two-season renewal, totaling another 20 episodes, follows the same pattern as before.
