We told you it was happening, and now, Hulu has a launch date for the revived King of The Hill.
10 episodes, comprising Season 14, will drop August 4, and a lot has changed since the series left Fox for syndication & cable reruns, hopping back & forth between FX/FXX & [adult swim].
Hank Hill (Mike Judge) has returned to the US after spending a few years in Saudi Arabia. In the interim, as the revamped intro reveals, an African American family (or a single) had moved into the Hill home for a few years. Hill was working in---what else?---propane sales for a Saudi company.
Since the series ended, singer Tom Petty (Lucky) and Johnny Hardwick (Dale) have passed on. Brittany Murphy (Luanne) had passed in 2009. Toby Huss, who'd voiced Kahn & Cotton in the original run, will succeed Hardwick as Dale.
Bobby (Pamela Adlon) is all grown up, and now is a chef, having succeeded on his own after all.
Now, take a look at the new open:

Fox's late night animation run consists of three different types of animated shows - the monster hits (The Simpsons, Family Guy), the "too weird to even bother watching an episode" (The Great North, Krapocalips) and the shows that became sleeper hits with really detailed characters. King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers fit into that category nicely.
I see where Fox is trying out Bob's Burgers on Thursday this coming week. Hmmmm.
I wonder if the new King of The Hill would be repurposed on Disney.....
