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.

Issue is, how many shows are there that have GREAT short seasons? World building has been so lacking in shows because of it. No time to explain, head to the next scene!

I know what you mean, but a show with good writing and directing can do a lot with very little. Even a show with a short season has much more time for world building than a two-hour movie. Hell, short seasons have more time than a trilogy of films.

Personally I disagree. Part of why I rarely watch movies. Feel like wastes of potential.
