‘King of the Hill’ Revival First Details: Hank and Peggy Are Retired, Bobby’s a Dallas Chef, Dale Was Briefly Arlen’s Mayor and More

‘King of the Hill’ revival first details: Hank and Peggy are retired, Bobby’s a Dallas chef, Dale was briefly Arlen’s mayor and more.

Adlon and fellow “King” stars Lauren Tom (Connie) and Toby Huss (Kahn, Cotton and now Dale) joined co-creators Mike Judge(also the voice of Hank Hill and Boomhauer) and Greg Daniels on Austin’s Paramount Theatre stage Friday to reminisce about the series’ 13-season run — and give some hints at what’s to come as the show is revived for a Season 14. It was during San Francisco’s SketchFest in 2017, during a 20th anniversary “King of the Hill” table read (the episode “Husky Bobby”), that the audience’s strong reaction first gave Judge and Daniels the idea to perhaps bring the show back. New showrunner Saladin Patterson, who was working on shows like “The PJs,” “Frasier” and “Bernie Mac” during the original “King of the Hill” run, was a fan who jumped at the chance of joining the revival.
