New King of the Hill Revival Preview Teases Hank’s New Neighbor

by

King of the Hill is set to return on Hulu this Summer, bringing fresh episodes. A sneak peek at these upcoming episodes offers further insight into Hank Hill’s enigmatic new neighbor. When promotional materials for the revamped series started to surface, viewers were taken aback by one major change: Hank and Peggy have been working in Saudi Arabia over the past few years. The second significant twist came with the unveiling of a new opening theme song, which introduces a fresh character replacing Hank among the other characters in the alleyway.

In the time since Hank and Peggy left Arlen, Texas, there’s a hint that a fresh character has joined Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer in the King of the Hill gang. A sneak peek at upcoming episodes offers a glimpse of this newcomer, revealing more about his part within the group, and it appears he won’t be merely standing in for Hank. Instead, it seems like he’s set to become a permanent member of their tight-knit circle.

King of the Hill Reveals Hank’s New Neighbor

In the latest sneak peek for Season 14 of “King of the Hill”, Hank is seen grilling with a brand-new barbecue setup. However, he discards all the high-end gear that came with it, preferring instead his traditional method of grilling. This scene humorously suggests that Hank’s character remains unaltered despite his move to Saudi Arabia. Moreover, this scene hints at a shift in Hank’s social circle as Bill is absent from the group consisting of Dale, Boomhauer, and a new character. It’s speculated that Bill’s absence might be due to his struggling condition after the events of the pandemic years.

This episode seems to be set not too far into the latest season of “King of the Hill,” as Hank mentions his longing for grilling, which suggests he’s back from Saudi Arabia. The new resident in the neighborhood may have moved in while Hank and Peggy were away, adding another layer to the transformation Arlen has undergone since the original series. However, it remains to be seen how significant a part this new character will play in the season and whether they’ll alter the established dynamic.

When Does King of the Hill Season 14 Come Out?

The revival of “King of the Hill” (marking Season 14) will debut on Hulu and Disney+’s Hulu platform on August 4th. The new season consists of ten episodes that will simultaneously release, and original creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels are back for this fresh take on “King of the Hill”, with Saladin K. Patterson as showrunner. Voice actors Kathy Najimy, Stephen Root, Pamela Adlon, and Lauren Tom reprise their roles from the initial series.

In the upcoming season, Johnny Hardwick, the original voice actor of Dale Gribble, appears in six episodes. However, Toby Huss will take over the role for future episodes. Jonathan Joss, who voiced another character, is set to return as recordings were made before his passing. The voice of Kahn Souphanousiphone will now be provided by Ronnie Chiang, a notable change. As for other potential new voices, such as Hank’s neighbor, those announcements are yet to come.
