King of the Hill Renewed: Hulu Brings Back Arlen’s Finest for Seasons 16 & 17

Turns out, you just can’t keep Hank Hill off the lawn—or off TV. After a wildly successful revival season, Hulu has officially renewed King of the Hill for Seasons 16 and 17, proving that Arlen, Texas still has plenty of propane-fueled stories left to tell. For longtime fans, this isn’t just a renewal; it’s vindication that smart, slow-burn comedy still has a place in the streaming age.

The King of the Hill revival first landed on Hulu in August 2025, reintroducing audiences to Hank, Peggy, Bobby, and the rest of the gang with a perfectly balanced mix of nostalgia and modern absurdity. Now, with two more seasons greenlit, the series looks set to continue exploring suburban chaos, Texas pride, and the existential dread of lawn maintenance in a world that won’t stop changing.

Series creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels have returned in full force, once again proving that the quiet brilliance of Arlen’s residents can hold its own against louder, flashier animated fare. The writing remains sharp and subtle, skewering everything from influencer culture to generational cluelessness without losing the show’s trademark warmth. The humor lands softly, like a well-timed sigh, and that’s exactly why it works.

Hulu’s faith in King of the Hill shows that audiences are hungry for grounded comedy—something that doesn’t shout its punchlines but lets them simmer like ribs on a slow cook. The animation has been polished, but the heart of the show is untouched. Hank still preaches the gospel of propane, Peggy’s confidence still outpaces her competence, and Bobby continues to question absolutely everything his dad stands for.

With Seasons 16 and 17 on the way, King of the Hill isn’t just a nostalgic revival—it’s a reminder that sincerity and satire can coexist beautifully. Grab your beer, pull up a lawn chair, and get ready to say it once again: “Yep.” The king is back, and business in Arlen has never been better.
