The show follows Hank Hill as he sells propane and its accessories while navigating a changing world with wild friends and a son, Bobby, who does little to make life easier.
Lead character Hank Hill will be voiced by Judge, Kathy Najimy will voice Peggy, Stephen Root will return to his role as Bill, Pamela Aldon will voice Bobby Hill, Johnny Hardwick will return as Dale, and Lauren Tom will voice Minh.
A revival of King of the Hill has been in development since the 2017 San Francisco Sketchfest, according to the report.
It was there that the co-creators reunited with the show’s original cast.
“We are all so excited to welcome back Hank, Peggy, and Bobby, and to see what they have to say about the world we live in and continue the conversations we began years ago,” Craig Erwich, president of ABC Entertainment, Hulu, and Disney Branded Televisions said in a statement.
“This show has all of the perfect ingredients to meet this moment in animation at Hulu, and we’re so thankful to be having those conversations alongside this talented group.”
