Hank Hill's return in Hulu's King of the Hill Season 14 has broken a major viewership record on both Hulu and Disney, scoring the best adult animation premiere in 5 years on both platforms.
The sitcom is a revival of Mike Judge and Greg Daniels' popular adult animated sitcom, which ran for thirteen seasons from 1997 to 2009.
In 2022, Greg Daniels and Mike Judge formed their new company, Bandera Entertainment, with a King of the Hill revival among its many projects in development. The revival news, after almost 15 years, was positively received, and fans flocked to their screens to stream the revival on August 4.
King of the Hill Season 14 saw the return of a majority of the original voice actors, who reprised their respective characters, including Mike Judge as Hank Hill & Jeff Boomhauer, Kathy Najimy as Peggy Hill, Stephen Root as Bill Dauterive, and Pamela Adlon as Bobby Hill.

The verdict is out, and the return of the Texas-native propane salesman was a hit among sitcom fans. The King of the Hill Season 14 premiere, which recorded a perfect RT score (down to 98% currently), pulled in 4.4M views in its first seven days of streaming on both Hulu and Disney+, making it the most-viewed adult animation series on both platforms in the last five years.
According to Disney, the sitcom revival debuted on Hulu’s Top 15 Today and has consistently managed to retain its No. 5 spot since its premiere on August 4. In addition, after the buzz for King of the Hill Season 14 since March, the previous thirteen seasons have also seen a 41% lift in viewership. The sitcom has now crossed 1 billion hours globally across both Disney and Hulu. The number went significantly higher from 26 million hours, as recorded in early March.
The new data provided by Disney proves that the sitcom's future is bright and fans are re-watching old episodes in anticipation of new ones. While Disney is yet to greenlight another season of the revival, Saladin Patterson, Daniels, and Judge reportedly have plans for another season.
What is King Of The Hill Season 14 about?
King of the Hill Season 14 is set eight years after the Season 13 finale, in a drastically changed and present-day Arlen, Texas. In the Pilot, it was established that both Hank and Peggy moved to Saudi Arabia after the Season 13 finale to make money for their retirement. The revival premiere followed their return and the subsequent adjustment to life in a changed Texas.
The revival also brought back iconic main characters from the sitcom, namely Hank’s friends – conspiracy theorist Dale, barber Bill & cool Boomhauer, and Peggy's friends Minh and Nancy, who help the couple navigate a changed world.
King of the Hill Season 14 also saw a grown-up Bobby, a college dropout who now works as a head chef at a Japanese-German-American fusion restaurant. While Bobby defied every expectation Hank had from his son, the revival series saw them reconnect as father and son.
The characters in the revival series have significantly aged, but fans appreciated the show for maintaining the true essence of the sitcom, evoking a nostalgic feel among long-time fans.
