Hulu's revival of "King of the Hill" has landed to strong critical acclaim, with its returning Season 14 achieving a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes and the newly released Season 15 opening even higher. The show, originally airing on Fox from 1997 to 2010, faced the tricky task of continuing without simply recreating the past, opting instead for a time jump that ages up the characters rather than leaning on nostalgia — an approach critics say has paid off.

Season 15, whose ten episodes became available on Hulu and Disney+ from 20 July, currently holds a perfect 100% Tomatometer rating based on ten reviews, though this figure remains provisional given the small sample size. The season follows Hank and Peggy settling into retirement and Bobby navigating adulthood, his restaurant and a rekindled relationship with Connie, building on groundwork laid by Season 14, which reintroduced the family after years abroad and dealt with the deaths of several original cast members. Collider's own review scored the season 9/10, praising its familiar but comforting tone while noting the finale felt somewhat rushed.
