Back in January, Hulu ordered the revival of King of the Hill. While we haven't gotten an exact release date for when series creator Mike Judge will take viewers back to the fictional town of Arlen, Texas, we now know it will feature a time jump. Stephen Root (who voiced Bill Dauterive and Buck Strickland, among other characters) confirmed in an interview with ScreenRant that the show will fast forward to a time when Bobby Hill is all grown up. He also said that he and other returning voice actors started their table reads last month. "I think we're going to time jump in [King of the Hill] a little bit so that Bobby's going to be older, and it's going to be interesting," Root said. "We're starting table reads in April, so I'm so looking forward to it."

King of the Hill ended as 13-year-old Bobby discovered a talent for recognizing different cuts of meat, winning the meat examination championship for Heimlich County Junior College. The time jump tease confirms that the show's revival is not exactly a reboot, but more of a sequel or continuation of the original series.
Along with Root, most of the original cast will be reprising their roles in the King of the Hill revival, including Judge (Hank), Kathy Najimy (Peggy Hill), Pamela Adlon (Bobby), Johnny Hardwick (Dale Gribble), and Lauren Tom (Minh Souphanousinphone). Due to Brittany Murphy's death after the original series ended in 2009, a new voice actor for Luanne hasn't been cast, nor have the producers revealed how they're handling the character.

Really? I like the idea that show is growing up along with the audience. It's what Simpsons should have done imo. Lots of comedy potential in seeing Old Man Hank react to the changing world of the 2020s too which would feel kinda weird if nobody aged.

Hank wouldn't. He almost didn't vote for George W Bush because his handshake was limp. The "grab 'em by the pussy" shit from Trump would be more than enough to make Hank not support him.

Dale wouldn't be MAGA either, he'd say that Trump and QAnon were just a smokescreen for the REAL conspiracy.

Bill would certainly be one though.

Nah.

Hank would be very anti-MAGA. He doesnt trust limpwrist New Yorkers.

Dale would be convinced that Trump was a deep state plant. Definitely wouldve been anti-mask though.

Boomhauer would not express any political opinions except being very into flying the blue line American flag.

Bill. Yeah, he wouldve been sucked in.

Oh, and I just remembered years ago, CE had a topic that workshopped revival King of the Hill episodes, and my contribution was that the 2016 election wouldve featured a beleaguered Hank not willing to vote for either candidate, being convinced to look into Libertarians by Dale, superficially liking their small government stuff and voting early, only to shockingly find out after the fact that theyre all pro-weed and very conspiratorial, and the rest of the episode was Hank trying to get his early vote undone so that he could vote again.

Does Dale go for entry level conspiracies? I feel like Dale always has to one-up the rest with something insane. He has to strive to retain his identity by standing out amongst the conspiracy theorists.

Dale is WAY too "educated" in conspiracy theories to believe in Qanon. He would either laugh at how childish it is compared to the "real things going on", or assume it to be a psyop campaign.

Not to mention Hank would lose whatever shred of respect he might have had left once he finds out how Trump eats his steaks.

God, I didn't even think of that. Forget the election, they'd have to stop Hank from kicking his ass.

Odds are that Kahn would be a Trump supporter, though.

I can see Jimmy Wichard going full Qanon and that being the point where Dale realizes that there's not really anything there. He's shown himself to be fully aware of how far gone Jimmy is, and as episodes such as the Harmonaholics and the Omega House demonstrate, he KNOWS when something is a cult.

The real question is how many kids in Bobby's class grow up to be Proud Boys, because there are definitely some candidates there.

Trump also puts ketchup on well-done steak, which Hank finds to be a cardinal sin.

Fun fact:
Michael J Fox was asked if Alex P Keaton would have voted for Trump. Fox believed "No" because Alex was a neoconservative who would be turned off by Trump's insistence that America was not great.

They are releasing Beavis and Butthead season 2 weekly right now, there's 3 episodes out so far I think. First season wound up being great.

As it should. But please... no 1-2 year time skips, that doesn't do anything for the show. Bobby was 13 near the final, so he needs to be around 18/19 in the new show.

Nah. Bobby actually grew to be fairly smart when it came to girls. If anything, he'd have a good few giving him signals that he woukdnt even notice.

Nah. Dale would see QAnon as a government conspiracy, especially with how ingratiated several prominent figures are in the current government policies. They would be Reagan Republicans, but not MAGA.

I'm glad they actually got Greg Daniels back for the revival. He was more integral to the show being as good as it was than Mike Judge was.

The real deal breaker for Hank is Trump likes his steaks well done with ketchup.
