Fox might be reviving King of the Hill

Animated sitcom King of the Hill sounds like it's close to coming back from the dead, according to writer Brent Forrester. In an AMA on Reddit, Forrester said that creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge are in "hot negotiations" to bring the Fox series back, with all the characters ageing up by 15 years.

"I am sure Greg Daniels and Mike Judge will murder me for sharing this but... HELL YES," Forrester said when asked if he'd heard any updates about the show being revived. "They are in hot negotiations to bring back King of the Hill. The Trump administration made it suddenly very relevant again. The characters have all aged 15 years. The project is sooooo good. Okay I've said too much ".

In March 2020, co-creator Greg Daniels said that the Fox network in the US had previously rejected a reboot of King of the Hill, though he maintained his interest in making one. "But we do have a plan for it and it's pretty funny," Daniels told Comic Book. "So maybe one day." It sounds like a lot has changed since then, assuming Forrester isn't messing around in his AMA.

King of the Hill's one of the few shows that I'd watch a revival of, so I hope this happens.

Loved that show, I'd definitely check out a reboot

One of my favorite moments in the show, actually had referenced this clip earlier today talking to a friend about a frustrating meeting at work

What a dream that would be. Got some PC issues to clean up, though.

Can do a pretty good imitation of Hank. Used to do it from time to time answering the phone in my last job.

My wife can do a good Bobby Hill... specifically this part. Getting her to do it is like getting Hank to talk about his narrow urethra though.

Me too. It's the only voice I can hit nearly perfect. I learned it as Mr. Anderson's voice from Beavis and Butthead.

Have a hard time seeing that show comeback without major changes to screw it up in the PC world we live in now.

Exactly. It will either be terrible or be cancelled in no time. There really is no other possible outcome.

Lol. Show will have 3 episodes in before SJWs cancel it. Can only imagine the outrage there will be over RedCorn and the Asian neighbor (forget his name)

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I don't remember anything about that show that would upset woke people. Hell the most "woke" person I know is a trans women and she loves the show. But hell everything seems to upset someone now a days

John Redcorn and Kahn will not be making an appearance.

John Redcorn is a man that wants to be a good father but wants to make sure his sons mental health is good. Kahn is a good south east Asian man that wants the best for his family while struggling with bi polar disorder. Seems like 2 good characters

While I agree with you, the Simpsons cancelled Apu because stereotypes upset people. John Redcorn’s hair blows every time he talks and his son did this:

Someone, somewhere would/will most likely complain... and today that seems to be all it takes unfortunately.

Yep. Hank would wear a mask. Dale would get arrested storming the Capitol. Tucker Carlson would whine nightly and Luis Gohmert would introduce legislation to condemn it.

..and a haircut from Bill would still cost 900 dollars
