In fact, the series garnered over one billion views on the platform, making it the biggest adult animation launch in five years.

The series revival brought in a new modern perspective and allowed the good nature of Hank Hill to shine even more. It is no secret that the “King of the Hill” revival became a hit with old and new fans, leading to its reported continuation.

Per a report from Vulture, the “King of the Hill” revival continuation was already locked in. The report states that Hulu had ordered 20 30-minute episodes, only 10 of which aired on the platform as Season 14.

This means that “King of the Hill” Season 15 was already ready to go. Even more exciting is that the episodes have already wrapped and are set for a debut on Hulu in 2026.

“Vulture has learned that production on another batch of KOTH episodes has already quietly wrapped, with a new season in the can and on track to arrive next year.

To be clear, Hulu has not (yet) ordered more episodes of KOTH in response to this month’s strong viewership numbers. Instead, it turns out that when Hulu announced the KOTH revival back in January 2023, it ordered 20 half-hour episodes, according to people familiar with the matter,” the report indicates.

Whether or not Hulu saw the writing on the wall, the series revival became a massive hit, and fans of the series and its revival will be thrilled to know that the next season is set to debut sooner rather than later.

“King of the Hill” Season 14 is available to stream on Hulu, along with the previous seasons. Though there are no confirmed details on its continuation, it appears that there will be more Hank, Peggy, Bobby and the characters of Arlen hitting the streamer next year.
