Hulu will return to Arlen, Texas, in July.
The Disney-owned streaming company has set a premiere date for Season 15 of the TV series King of the hill — The second season of the animated series revival. All 10 episodes will debut on July 20, less than a year after the series’ first season.
The tagline for Season 15 reads: “Hank and Peggy settle into retirement life on Rainey Street while trying to keep their neighbors from going off the rails. Bobby navigates old friendships while dealing with the pressures of being an entrepreneur.” That’s not much, but Hulu also released a teaser poster that it says contains several hints about what’s to come in this season.
Bill (holding a plant), Hank (wearing a Strickland propane vest and carrying a leash), Dill (holding two caged rats and a magnet for his beer can) and Boomhauer (with three chickens at his feet) stand in their usual spot in the alley, while Peggy and Kan look on over the fence. Peggy styles her hair with a portable fan. A neglected and mangled cow lies on the ground next to Bill, and the State Fair of Texas mascot, Big Tex, looms in the background.
