An official listing confirmed the King of the Hill reboot episode count, hinting at its eventual release date.

King of the Hill originally aired on Fox for 13 seasons from 1997 to 2010, maintaining steady ratings and critical acclaim throughout its run.

After being officially ordered by Hulu in 2023, production on the King of the Hill reboot wrapped in October 2024.

Hulu's revival will age up key characters, with Bobby Hill entering adulthood, while also navigating the challenge of replacing late voice actors like Johnny Hardwick.

King of the Hill Reboot Episode Count Confirmed

A new listing on the Writers Guild of America (WGA) website notes that the King of the Hill revival will have 10 episodes in its first season.

The listing details episode credits for Season 14, set to air sometime this year, with 10 episodes written by a mix of returning and new writers.

Sad, but feels like shrinkflation started with television shows. Then it wasn't long before they realized they could shrink everything, and still charge us the same prices.

I guess I have a hard time seeing it as shrinkflation when most streaming shows are on average 10 episodes.

Sure King of the Hill used to be a network show and about 23 episodes per season, but as a streaming show it's about right.

Live action Hulu, Only Murders in the Building & The Bear are 10 episodes on average. Animated on Hulu, Solar Opposites & Hit-Monkey are 10 episodes.

Even if we go back to the first big streaming hit, House of Cards, that was 13 episode seasons.

It's pissed me off for about a decade.

Everyone shits on Krapopolis for some reason but it was a huge breath of fresh air realizing it had actual full seasons! It'd been a while since I thought "wait, there's more?!"

Technically one of the seasons was actually 2 sets of 12 episodes released but I'll take whatever win I can get.
