The classic show “King of the Hill” is being revived for a fresh series on Hulu, with the creators hinting that fans can expect a unique portrayal of Hank Hill in this new version. In a significant move, 20th Television Animation has ushered in a new phase with Disney and Hulu, as Disney has recently extended four major animated series for four more seasons each, and is also working on new seasons of beloved classics like “Futurama” and “King of the Hill”, which will be exclusively available on Hulu streaming platform.
The character once known as “King of the Hill” is currently developing a fresh revival series on Hulu, an update that was initially hinted at in 2022. Since then, details about this new approach have been gradually unveiled, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that this reboot will offer a unique perspective compared to the original. In a recent chat with Variety, Craig Erwich from Disney Television Group provided some tantalizing insights into these changes, suggesting that we’ll get to know Hank Hill in an entirely new light.
New Hank Hill in King of the Hill Revival?
Erwich hinted excitedly, “I believe folks are going to appreciate the fresh take on ‘King of the Hill.’ It’s remarkably relevant without forcing it. You’ll get a unique perspective on Hank Hill.” Despite being a brief teaser, it offers intriguing insights. This hint about seeing Hank in a new light aligns with the series updates we’ve gathered from previous cast and crew interviews. Notably, the series will be advancing King of the Hill‘s timeline.
Pamela Adlon, voice actor for Bobby Hill, hinted at the revival of “King of the Hill” featuring a 21-year-old Bobby now working as a chef in Dallas. This contrasts with his age of 13 when the original series ended, indicating an eight-year time gap. As a result, viewers can expect updated versions not only of Hank but also of all characters from the original series. Additionally, fresh faces will be introduced to add to the excitement.
What Does This Mean for King of the Hill?
Beyond simply hinting at a fresh take on Hank, Erwich’s tease primarily emphasizes that “King of the Hill” is exceptionally relevant for our current times, effortlessly so. This was one of the key factors that set King of the Hill apart from other animated shows during its time. The show’s unique charm lay in its realistic portrayal, with Hank as the central character who underwent change as a result of changes happening around him, thus captivating its audience.
The character from “King of the Hill” often tested Hank’s deeply held convictions, showing that he wasn’t infallible. Hank was open to change, even when it made him uneasy, adapting to different lifestyles. Given the rapid pace of recent global changes since the show ended, Hank is returning to offer a fresh (yet hopefully recognizable) perspective in our contemporary world.
