Hank, Peggy and Bobby all back after 14 years

Animated sitcom King Of The Hill is coming back after 14 years.

Original co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels are to revive their show for the Hulu streaming platform in the US.

It originally ran for 13 seasons on Fox from 1997 to 2009 with judge voicing  Hank Hill, an enthusiastic seller of propane in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas.

Also returning are Kathy Najimy, who plays Hank’s wife Peggy, and Pamela Adlon as their 13-year-old son, Bobby as well as other voice cast including Stephen Root, Johnny Hardwick and Lauren Tom.

Senior Hulu executive Craig Erwich said: ’We are all so excited to welcome back Hank, Peggy and Bobby, and to see what they have to say about the world we live in and continue the conversations we began years ago.

‘This show has all of the perfect ingredients to meet this moment in animation at Hulu, and we’re so thankful to be having those conversations alongside this talented group.’

No UK broadcaster has yet been announced for the show, although the original ran on Channel 4.

It follows the news that The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers have all been recommissioned by Fox in the US.
