“King of the Hill” Season 15 will see Bobby and Connie take their relationship to the next level.
In the trailer released as part of the show’s panel at the Annecy Animation Festival, the pair explore romance as adults, much to their parents chagrin. The trailer also shows Hank and Peggy trying to make the best of retirement, while also learning about modern scammers.
Series creator and lead voice actor Mike Judge was presented with the Honorary Crystal Award for his contributions to animation at Annecy. In his speech, Judge said, ““Animators are a unique breed. It takes a certain type of weirdo to make a film, one frame at a time, and I found that those are my people. So thank you to all the weirdos like myself.”
The new season will debut all 10 episodes on July 20. Hulu originally picked up 20 episodes of the revival. Following its successful return in 2025, Hulu renewed the show for two additional seasons, which will bring it to Season 17.
Per the official logline, “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.”
Original series cast members Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Stephen Root, Lauren Tom, and Toby Huss all return as their original characters. Following the death of Johnny Hardwick, the voice of Dale Gribble, Huss took over the role. In addition, Ronny Chieng has taken over the role of Hank and Peggy’s Laotian neighbor Kahn Souphanousinphone.
