King of the Hill Revival Shares First Look at Hank’s Wild New Job

by

In the upcoming summer revival on Hulu, “King of the Hill” characters are set to return with an unexpected career change for Hank Hill. Fans recently got a quick glimpse into his new job through a surprise sneak peek, which shows Hank and Peggy in Saudi Arabia. The storyline will be set almost a decade after the original series, and since we last saw them, many changes have taken place in their lives.

It turns out that Hank and Peggy have been living abroad in Saudi Arabia for several years, working on a unique propane project. This was unexpected since it didn’t appear that Hank would make such a drastic change in his life. However, this move seems to be the reason behind Hank’s absence from some major life changes shown in the upcoming episodes. A sneak peek of their time in Saudi Arabia can be seen in the recent teaser trailer for King of the Hill, which was released over Father’s Day weekend. Take a look:

Why Does Hank Move to Saudi Arabia?

Fans of “King of the Hill” were taken aback by Hank’s decision to relocate to Saudi Arabia, as it was an unexpected move given his character. However, promotional materials suggest that he took on a unique propane project in the country to finance his retirement. There is also a more practical creative reason behind this shift: removing Hank from the United States would allow him to avoid major changes happening in the country during this period (thus avoiding any political views that might have evolved over time).

In the upcoming series, Hank and Peggy will find themselves back in Arlen, Texas, which has undergone significant transformations they’re unaware of. The way Hank reacts to these changes is expected to serve as the main source of humor for the new show. As Saladin K. Patterson, the showrunner, stated during a past interview with Vulture, “Hank was the embodiment of common sense in the old show, striking a balance between extremes.” However, while Hank’s been away, America has shifted so much that the middle ground Hank represented is no longer the norm.

What Does This Mean for Hank?

In the revival of “King of the Hill,” it’s unlikely we’ll see much action in Saudi Arabia. A fleeting scene in the trailer suggests Hank is picking up Peggy as they prepare to return to the United States. This scene might be featured in the premiere episode to reacquaint viewers with Hank and Peggy’s recent activities, following the conclusion of the original series. After this brief catch-up, the story will swiftly return to Arlen, setting up the new normal for the series.

In a potential shift for “King of the Hill,” Hank’s new series might find him in Saudi Arabia, leaving his previous job at Strickland Propane uncertain. We may not witness much from this drastically altered setting, but despite these major changes, Hank appears to remain the same character. The true implications will be revealed when “King of the Hill” Season 14 premieres on Hulu on August 4th.
