‘King of the Hill’ Enters Its Golden Years

The long-running animated sitcom "King of the Hill" is making a comeback, with a revival series that picks up years after the original show's conclusion. The new iteration will feature the main characters, Hank and Peggy, in their retirement years, while their son, Bobby, has grown up to become a successful chef. The news of the revival is bittersweet, as several former cast members, including the voice of Luanne Platter, have passed away since the show's original run. The series, known for its realistic portrayal of middle-class American life and its subtle social commentary, will likely explore the characters' evolving relationships and the challenges of aging. The revival of "King of the Hill" comes as a nostalgic treat for fans who have followed the show's 13-season run, which aired from 1997 to 2010. The series' return promises to offer a compelling and poignant exploration of the characters' lives in their golden years, while acknowledging the passing of beloved members of the show's ensemble.
