Hulu will return to Arlen, Texas, in July.
The Disney-owned streamer has set a premiere date for season 15 of King of the Hill — the second season of the animated series’ revival. All 10 episodes will debut on July 20, just under a year after the revival’s first season debuted.
The logline for season 15 reads, “Hank and Peggy settle into retirement life on Rainey Street while attempting to keep their neighbors from going off the rails. Bobby navigates old friendships while dealing with the stresses of being an entrepreneur.” That’s not a lot to go on, but Hulu also released a teaser poster that it says contains several hints about what’s to come in the season.

Bill (holding a plant), Hank (in a Strickland Propane jacket and holding a leash), Dale (holding two caged rats and a magnet for his beer can) and Boomhauer (with three chickens at his feet) stand in their usual spot in the alley, while Peggy and Kahn look over the fence. Peggy is blowing her hair with a portable fan. A discarded and ragged cow stuffie is on the ground next to Bill, and the Texas State Fair mascot, Big Tex, looms in the background.
King of the Hill’s revival had a successful run on Hulu and Disney+ last year, recording 1.21 billion minutes of viewing time in its premiere week, according to Nielsen. Disney says season 14 had the best premiere for an adult animated series on Disney+ and Hulu in five years, recording 4.4 million views worldwide in its first seven days. Hulu ordered two more seasons last October.
Series co-creator Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Stephen Root, Lauren Tom and Toby Huss lead the voice cast for King of the Hill. Judge and co-creator Greg Daniels executive produce via their Bandera Entertainment along with showrunner Saladin Patterson, Michael Rotenberg and Howard Klein of 3 Arts Entertainment, Dustin Davis of Bandera, and Norm Hiscock.
