"Powered by the arrival of its first new episodes in over 15 years, King of the Hill will debut at No. 2 on Nielsen's streaming originals and overall streaming ratings charts, per preliminary data set to be released next week. According to the ratings giant, the Mike Judge and Greg Daniels-created animated classic generated a Texas-size 1.28 billion minutes of viewing in the U.S. during the August 4-10 reporting period, ranking behind only the sophomore-season premiere of Netflix's global smash Wednesday."
"To be clear, Hulu has not (yet) ordered more episodes of KOTH in response to this month's strong viewership numbers. Instead, it turns out that when Hulu announced the KOTH revival back in January 2023, it ordered 20 half-hour episodes, according to people familiar with the matter. While the streamer never publicly specified the size of its episodic commitment - it simply released 10 new episodes as season 14 - that number was no secret to the show's producers and writers,"
King of the Hill's revival generated 1.28 billion U.S. streaming minutes during the August 4-10 reporting period, placing the series at No. 2 on Nielsen's streaming originals and overall streaming charts behind Netflix's Wednesday. Seventy-three percent of that total viewing came from the newly released episodes. Hulu originally ordered 20 episodes when greenlighting the revival in January 2023 and released 10 as season 14, allowing producers to plot storylines across both halves. Production on the back half of the initial order has quietly wrapped, with the completed season expected to arrive next year.
