For the most part, animated characters don’t age. However, we are about to see one go from a middle school boy to a man old enough to drink. Who is it? Bobby from King of the Hill, which is returning with new episodes on Hulu.
After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed Arlen, Texas to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph, and Chane.
Did anyone else gasp when they saw Bobby as a man taller than his mom? I can’t wait to see how his dynamic has changed with his parents, if it has changed.
King of the Hill ran on Fox from January 12, 1997, to September 13, 2009. Even though the animated sitcom has been off the air for 15 years (more years than it aired seasons), fans still wanted more. And they will finally be getting that with 10 episodes starting on August 4th.
The first 258 episodes are streaming on Hulu. You can catch up on the show before the season 14 premiere.
