Hulu has just dropped the first look at the highly anticipated King of the Hill reboot, and fans are already buzzing. The new poster reveals that while Hank Hill and his friends are still sharing beers in their beloved alley, the world around them has changed — drones now deliver Alamo beer, Bill is ordering takeout from Mega Lo Eats, and Dale is rocking a VR headset. It’s King of the Hill, but with a 21st-century twist.

The first look at Hulu’s King of the Hill reboot is here, and yep, things in Arlen have changed — but not too much. The new poster shows Hank Hill and his pals back in their favorite spot, drinking beer in the alley. Only now, they’ve got some 2020s flair.
Bill is living his best life with takeout from Mega Lo Eats, Dale is fully lost in a VR headset (classic Dale), and drones are literally dropping off Alamo beer from the sky. It’s the same old crew — just with Wi-Fi.
But even with the tech upgrades, it’s still King of the Hill. Hank, Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer are still leaning against that fence, sharing beers and avoiding whatever nonsense the world throws at them. Some things really never change.
Cast and Character Updates
It wouldn’t be King of the Hill without the iconic voices we all know. Mike Judge is back as Hank Hill — and yes, he’s still pushing propane and propane accessories. Judge also returns as Boomhauer, the fast-talking ladies’ man who’s probably still a mystery to most.
Kathy Najimy is back as Peggy, who is undoubtedly still armed with her unique brand of overconfidence. Pamela Adlon returns as Bobby, now a young adult chasing his culinary dreams (because of course Bobby became a chef). Stephen Root is back as Bill Dauterive, likely still unlucky in love but forever loyal to his friends.
There’s a bittersweet update for Dale Gribble fans. Johnny Hardwick, the voice of Dale, passed away in 2023, but he had already recorded some lines for the new series. So yes, Dale will still be part of the gang — at least for a little while.
As for the King of the Hill reboot itself, it’s a mix of old and new. Arlen is a little more high-tech, but the heart of the show is still Hank and his friends figuring out life one beer at a time.
Release Information and What’s Next
Mark your calendars — the King of the Hill reboot is dropping on Hulu in summer 2025. That means we’re just a few months away from catching up with Hank, Peggy, Bobby, and the whole Arlen crew.
But there’s more to come. On May 30, series creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels are set to spill more details at the ATX TV Festival in Austin. If you’re hoping for sneak peeks, plot hints, or just some classic Judge humor, that’s the place to watch.
Fans are already buzzing about how the King of the Hill reboot will mix nostalgia with modern chaos. Will Hank finally get comfortable with smartphones? Will Bobby’s culinary career take off? One thing’s for sure — we’ll all be watching.
Final Thoughts: Nostalgia Meets Modernity
At its core, this show has always been about one thing — the simple joys of life in Arlen, Texas. But this King of the Hill reboot is mixing things up, blending the show’s classic humor with the chaos of the 2020s. Hank is still a propane man, but now he’s surrounded by drone deliveries and VR headsets. The alley gang is still cracking open beers, but now those beers are arriving from the sky.
This mix of old-school charm and modern-day madness means the reboot isn’t just for longtime fans who grew up with Hank and Bobby. Let’s be real — genuinely good adult animated shows are pretty rare. But now a whole new generation gets to experience one that actually nails it. So, whether you’re here for the nostalgia or just curious to see how Hank deals with Wi-Fi, this reboot has you covered.
