The much-anticipated revival of “King of the Hill” is almost upon us, premiering on Hulu this Summer. The latest episodes have left fans bewildered due to Hank Hill’s unexpected career change. In a departure from the original series, the revival will take place around eight years later, and we’ll encounter a Hank who has been living quite a different life – apparently, he’s spent the past few years working in Saudi Arabia.
In the upcoming revival of King of the Hill, it was hinted that Hank and Peggy had been residing in Saudi Arabia for some time, with Hank taking on a new propane job to save for their retirement. Upon returning to Arlen, Texas, they find themselves without jobs and are left seeking new ways to occupy their time. This situation ultimately leads Hank to pursue a career change, eventually landing him the role of a soccer coach, despite his past criticisms of the sport.
Hank Coaches Soccer in New King of the Hill
In the latest trailer for the revival of “King of the Hill,” Hank openly ponders what he’ll do with all his newly available time. This aligns well with the character we know from the original series, as Hank is a dedicated workaholic who even required compulsion to take a vacation and ended up teaching shop class during his supposed week off (“Little Horrors of Shop”). Given this, it’s reasonable to assume that he may seek out more short-term hobbies or careers now that he has officially retired.
Intriguingly, one of the most unexpected plot twists in the upcoming episodes of “King of the Hill” is that a character will temporarily become a soccer coach. This is surprising given Hank’s past criticisms of the sport and his unpleasant encounter with it during Season 3’s episode, “Three Coaches and a Bobby.” This change might suggest Hank’s personal growth over the years, but it also raises significant questions for the new series.
What Does This Mean for Hank?
It appears that the upcoming episodes of “King of the Hill” are going to offer a fresh take on Hank’s journey. Unlike before when his life centered around Strickland Propane, we can expect Hank to encounter various new opportunities this time around. This shift will not only push Hank out of his comfort zone by exposing him to changes he wasn’t accustomed to, but it may also lead to him developing a newfound appreciation for things he initially found unappealing.
One fundamental aspect of the initial “King of the Hill” series was consistently emphasized, and the fact that this new revival appears to be following suit is promising. We can expect Hank to tackle a wide range of new challenges in this updated setting, revealing fresh insights about his character. Concurrently, we’ll also get glimpses into how other characters have evolved over time as they age and adapt. This development promises an engaging experience, so we eagerly await the premiere of “King of the Hill” Season 14 on Hulu, scheduled for August 4th.
