In a highly anticipated move, the beloved animated sitcom "King of the Hill" is making a comeback in 2025, over 15 years after its last episode aired in 2010.

After spending several years working in Saudi Arabia, the couple is now back home, eager to reconnect with their old friends and neighbors. Meanwhile, their son Bobby, who was once a comedy-providing middle-schooler, has grown up to become a successful chef in Dallas, living out his culinary dreams.
The majority of the original voice cast, including Mike Judge as Hank, Kathy Najimy as Peggy, and Pamela Adlon as Bobby, have all returned for the revival. Critics have praised the new season, which holds a perfect 100% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, for its ability to seamlessly blend the show's signature light political commentary with the characters' evolving lives and the changing world around them.
