King of the Hill's revival continues with season 15, dropping all 10 episodes on Hulu on 20 July, and this reviewer argues it now feels even more faithful to the beloved original than last year's season 14 comeback did. The 2009-ending series returned with the premise of Hank and Peggy retired and Bobby grown up, a risky move the writer initially feared would tarnish the show's legacy, but which ultimately preserved its grounded humour and character warmth.

Season 14 had to handle scene-setting, catching audiences up on Hank's years working for oil firm Aramco in Saudi Arabia and reintroducing familiar faces like Dale, Bill and Boomhauer largely unchanged, while Bobby matured into a chef reunited with Connie. With that groundwork done, season 15 reportedly needs no such housekeeping, allowing returning producers Mike Judge and Greg Daniels and showrunner Saladin Patterson to focus on everyday, low-key storylines, such as Peggy's menopause and Hank falling for a phishing scam, that echo the original series' domestic simplicity.
