King of the Hill spent 13 seasons in Arlen, Texas, selling propane and propane accessories, then made a surprise comeback on Hulu. Here is how to watch Hank Hill's whole story from the start.
Created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, King of the Hill premiered on Fox in 1997 and became one of the longest-running animated sitcoms in TV history. The show follows Hank Hill, his wife Peggy, son Bobby, and niece Luanne, alongside Hank's alley-drinking buddies Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer. Its grounded humor and warm portrait of suburban Texas life set it apart from other prime-time cartoons, and it earned an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program.
๐ Release Order
The original run and the revival were released in a simple sequence.
- King of the Hill Seasons 1-13 (1997-2010)
- King of the Hill Season 14 (2025)
The revival picks up years after the original finale, with Hank and Peggy returning to Arlen after time working in Saudi Arabia and Bobby now an adult chef in Dallas.
๐ Story Chronology
Because the show ages its characters forward in the revival, story chronology and release order are exactly the same.
- King of the Hill Seasons 1-13 (1997-2010)
- King of the Hill Season 14 (2025)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch in release order. The original 13 seasons are largely episodic, so newcomers can sample favorites, but running through them in order lets you enjoy recurring storylines like Luanne's romance with Buckley and later Lucky, Bobby's growing up, and Peggy's endless confidence. Before starting the revival, at least watch the final season, which ends with the touching 'To Sirloin with Love.' The Hulu revival works best once you know the neighbors and their history, rewarding longtime fans with plenty of callbacks.
