Despite the change to digital animation, fans are loving the revival. The return to Arlen, Texas, is the best-case scenario for this type of series revival that is so common now: bringing a beloved series to our current social climate while retaining what made the original so great.

I don't think I've enjoyed a single show on the 2025 TV schedule as much as I have the return of King of the Hill. The latest ten episodes are everything I wanted and more from the animated series' big return, and I can't wait for more episodes, assuming they happen. If they do, though, I think I need to see Lucky and Luanne return.

King of the Hill' has dominated Hulu's streaming charts, scoring the biggest premiere for an adult animated series on the platform in five years.
