Will there be a King of the Hill Season 15?
Yes, it looks like King of the Hill season 15 is really happening, and honestly, it’s about as comforting as an unexpectedly good propane grill-up at a family cookout. Whether you grew up with Hank’s steady monotone or discovered the show later as a kind of antidote to TV chaos, the idea of more Arlen adventures feels downright necessary. Hulu’s big revival order called for 20 new episodes—a solid number for any sitcom fan to get excited about—and when season 14 dropped in August 2025, only half of those actually aired. So what’s going on with the rest? According to legitimate sources and recent leaks, those remaining ten episodes have already been produced, and industry insiders (plus a few gleeful social media sleuths) report they’re slated to be released as season 15 in 2026.
The announcement process is classic King of the Hill: low-key, slightly mysterious, not exactly headline-chasing. Hulu hasn’t blasted the news on every screen yet, but several entertainment journalists are treating the next season as basically set in stone. Honestly, the only thing missing is a bored-sounding statement from Hank himself, “Yup, we’re back.” Instead, episode titles have been quietly leaked, cast interviews have slipped out with hints, and if you scan enough forums, you’ll start seeing folks sharing wild theories about what’s coming next—sometimes alongside old “pocket sand” memes, for nostalgia’s sake.
I’m constantly reminded that TV revivals can feel weird. Sometimes they crash and burn; sometimes they’re so well-loved it barely matters if the show format’s a little old. With King of the Hill, though, there’s just this gentle insistence that everyday stories about neighbors, conspiracy theories, and competitive lawn care matter as much as epic adventures. I have a cousin, for example, who sincerely believes Dale Gribble is one of television’s greatest philosophers. Every time new episodes get announced, he texts me in all caps: “KING OF THE HILL’S BACK. LONG LIVE DALE.” The emotional investment here is real, if occasionally weird.
In the bigger picture, the promise of King of the Hill’s next season gives old-school fans something to look forward to and reassures new viewers they haven’t missed the final Arlen barbecue. It’s not the kind of entertainment news that will be plastered on every billboard, but sometimes the best things are announced quietly, nodding toward the porch light. So if you’re the type to quote Peggy or argue passionately that Bobby is secretly the genius of the show, 2026 should be a good year. Keep the lawn chairs handy and the remote close—season 15 is just about ready to pull up to the curb.
