Hulu's King of the Hill revival reveals a whole new Texas in first trailer
Briefly

King of the Hill returns after 15 years with its fourteenth season, showcasing Hank's adjustment to a vastly changed Arlen post-retirement from a propane project in Saudi Arabia. The show features familiar characters like Boomhauer, Bill, and Dale, who navigate the modern world featuring gender-neutral bathrooms and gig economy drivers. Bobby, now a chef in Dallas, appears to be thriving. The balance of humor and heartfelt themes will be crucial for the revival's success when it premieres on August 4th.
Set years after Hank has been working in Saudi Arabia on a propane project to secure his and Peggy's retirement, King of the Hill's fourteenth season follows the patriarch back home to Arlen, where he's taken aback by how much things have changed.
The trailer makes it clear that Hank's going to have a hard time adjusting to his new life as a senior citizen in a town full of people who see him as a bit of a relic.
After such a long pause, it's going to be great to see the Hills dealing with all of the aspects of modern day life that have just become normal in the time since King of the Hill went off the air.
What's probably going to make or break the show when it drops on August 4th is how well it balances its jokes with its heartfelt messaging.
