The King of the Hill revival has made a triumphant return, with Season 14 drawing 4.4 million viewers in its premiere week and earning widespread critical acclaim – including praise from our publication. Fans will be thrilled to learn this comeback wasn't just a nostalgic one-off. As Vulture reports, a second revived season has already been produced and is slated for release next year – a decision made even before Hulu knew Season 14 would succeed.
Two Seasons Planned From The Start
Reports indicate Hulu originally ordered 20 episodes when announcing the revival in 2023, yet Season 14 only contained half that number. The remaining ten episodes were reportedly held back to form Season 15's core, giving writers creative room to develop multi-season story arcs and meaningful character evolutions rather than rushing everything into one installment.
Potential For Continued Success
Should Season 15 match Season 14's quality, anticipation grows for potential future renewals. According to industry sources, renewal discussions appear imminent as King of the Hill is projected to debut at #2 in Nielsen's streaming rankings – trailing only Netflix's Wednesday in viewership.
A Revival Done Right
Rebooting King of the Hill after fifteen years carried substantial risks. The passing of original cast members, America's cultural shifts (memorably addressed through Hank's Season 14 Saudi Arabia return storyline), and Bobby Hill's maturation all presented creative challenges. That creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels successfully recaptured the show's magic speaks volumes about their vision – one we'll see continue unfolding when Season 15 arrives in 2025.
