It’s almost summer and we all know what that means: barbecues. And we all know what barbecues mean: grilling. Aaaaand we all know what grilling means: we’re going to need a lot more propane and propane accessories. Fortunately we know exactly who to turn to when the days get longer and hotter, which might explain why that’s exactly when Hank Hill is coming back. He will return on new episodes of King of the Hill starting in July.
Disney+ and Hulu announced that the new King of the Hill revical will return to both streaming services on July 20. This latest season will mark the show’s 15th. But despite it once seeming like that would be the (latest) end of the show, as the revival was originally expected to run just two years, it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. When season 15 kicks off it will begin a long run of new episodes. The animated series already earned an additional two-season order that guarantees it will be around for years 16 and 17. (The bonkers ratings it did for Disney helped guarantee that guarantee. I’ll tell you what, people just love the Hill family.)
More episodes means more propane, propane accessories, and plenty of chances to give us even more Easter eggs that hearken back to the series’ original run on Fox.
But while we’re excited that a lot more seasons await, those future years are not our focus right now. We’re ready for both summer and season 15 right now. So what can we expect from the revival when it kicks off in July? Season 14 ended with plenty of plots and arcs that still need conclusions. (We’re most eager to see where Bobby and Connie’s relationship goes.)
One matter this definitely resolved? Who we turn to when we need propane in the summer.
