Hulu has released the official trailer for King of the Hill Season 15, offering the first look at Bobby Hill and Connie Souphanousinphone as a romantic couple in adulthood. Unveiled during the show’s panel at the Annecy Animation Festival, the footage tracks two converging storylines: Bobby navigating the pressures of entrepreneurship while reconnecting with old friendships, and Hank and Peggy settling into retirement on Rainey Street while dealing with modern scammers along the way.
The trailer makes good on one of the revival’s most anticipated threads. Bobby and Connie’s relationship, left largely unresolved across the original run, advances into a full adult romance in Season 15, much to the displeasure of their respective parents. The dynamic gives the new season a clear emotional throughline beyond the suburban comedy the show built its reputation on.
On the production side, the season brings back its full original voice cast. Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Stephen Root, Lauren Tom and Toby Huss all return to their original roles. Huss continues in double duty, voicing both Boomhauer and Dale Gribble, a responsibility he assumed following the death of Johnny Hardwick, who originated the Dale role. Ronny Chieng, who joined the revival cast to voice Hank and Peggy’s Laotian neighbor Kahn Souphanousinphone, also returns for the new season.
Behind the scenes, the structure remains consistent with the revival’s first season. Co-creators Judge and Greg Daniels serve as executive producers, with Judge producing via Bandera Entertainment. Saladian Patterson continues as showrunner and executive producer, alongside Michael Rotenberg and Howard Klein for 3 Arts Entertainment, Dustin Davis for Bandera Entertainment and Norm Hiscock. 20th Television remains the studio on the project.
Season 15 arrives with the revival already on firm footing. Season 14 opened to a 98% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and debuted at number two on the Nielsen Top 10 streaming chart. Per Disney, the episodes reached 4.4 million global views in their first seven days. Hulu has already renewed the series through Season 17, with Season 15’s 10 episodes representing the second half of the original 20-episode pickup.
Watch the trailer above. King of the Hill Season 15 premieres July 20 on Hulu, with all 10 episodes dropping simultaneously.
