'King of the Hill' Revival Series: Everything We Know, Including Which Actors Won't Be Returning

It’s been over a year since Hulu announced that King of the Hill will be returning with an upcoming revival series, but we still don’t know when new episodes will air.

The original series ran on Fox for 13 seasons from 1997 through 2009. The original co-creators, Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, are returning to create the new revival series alongside incoming executive producer and showrunner Saladin Patterson.

Greg told TVLine that the show realistically won’t be returning until “the beginning of 2025″ due to delays from the writers strike.

Hulu has announced which cast members from the original series will be back and there’s one name that appears to be missing from the list. Multiple original actors have passed away and it’s unclear if their roles will be recast.

The show, set in the fictional Arlen, Texas, followed the life of Hank Hill, an enthusiastic seller of propane and propane accessories; his wife, Peggy, local Boggle champ and substitute teacher; and their 13-year-old son, Bobby, who defies any expectation his father had for a son. Hank’s friends – conspiracy theorist Dale, military barber Bill and cool but inarticulate Boomhauer, along with Peggy’s friends Minh and meteorologist Nancy, and Bobby’s friend Connie help the Hills navigate a changing world.

Silicon Valley is coming to an end.

The HBO comedy series will wrap up following its sixth season, Variety reports.

The final season will feature an abbreviated seven-episode run – the shortest season yet.

Silcon Valley is currently in pre-production and is will premiere later this year.

Silicon Valley has been a career and life highlight for us,” co-showrunners and executive producers Alec Berg and Mike Judge said. “We’ll miss it desperately, but we’ve always let Pied Piper’s journey guide the way, and Season 6 seems to be the fitting conclusion. We are forever indebted to our incredible cast, crew, and partners at HBO. At a certain point, there’s only so much we can do to make the world a better place.”

The series follows the struggle of Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch), a Silicon Valley engineer trying to build his own company called Pied Piper. It also stars Josh Brener, T.J. Miller, Martin Starr, Zach Woods, Kumail Nanjiani, Amanda Crew, Jimmy O. Yang, Suzanne Cryer, and Matt Ross.

Judd Apatow Gets Support from Kathy Griffin & Bob Saget at 'Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling' Documentary Premiere!

Judd Apatow is dapper as he poses alongside his pal Bob Saget at the premiere screening for HBO’s The Zen Diaries Of Garry Shandling held at Avalon on Wednesday (March 14) in Hollywood, Calif.

The 50-year-old writer-director-producer was also joined at the event by Kathy Griffin, Jon Lovitz, Vanessa Bayer, Wallace Langham, Mike Judge and Martin Starr.

“I didn’t realize that he had chosen really consciously to be a mentor,” Judd told Variety. “I knew he was available to people and he was really kind and if you said, ‘Will you read my script?’ he would give you notes. But he wrote in his journals that he wanted to help people and he thought that was the win in life, to help people. I was able to get an enormous amount of footage from different people and then I realized ‘Oh, this would make a great Bob Dylan-type two-part documentary’ so we spent about a year searching for footage and just watching footage and then a year editing it.”

The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling is a two-part documentary on the life of the late comedian that features conversations with more than 40 of Shandling’s family and friends – Watch the trailer below!
