What's interesting about the opening is that it borrows from the original "King of the Hill" series that ran on FOX. We see the same images of the Hill family, along with John Redcorn, Joseph, and Nancy Gribble, and more. However, there are some major life updates that have been revealed.
The new opening shows that Hank, Peggy, and Bobby moved out of Arlen. Hank is also replaced with an unknown African American character. Then, it appears that Dale Gribble has run for public office in Arlen, specifically to be the mayor.

After some time, Hank, Peggy, and Bobby return to Arlen. They remove a sign and line up next to one another, giving us the best look at the older Bobby.
What was known about the "King of the Hill" revival is that Bobby is pursuing a career in the culinary arts. Now, the world finally gets to see how much older and bigger the youngest Hill is.
'King of the Hill' Revival Cast: Who is Returning?
In terms of the returning cast, series creator Mike Judge will voice Hank Hill and Boomhauer, along with longtime voice actors Kathy Najimy as Peggy, Pamela Adlon as Bobby, and Stephen Root as Bill Dauterive.
Dale Gribble was shown in the new opening, along with his attempts to become the mayor of Arlen, but there is still no additional information about how involved he will be in the new series. Dale's voice actor, Johnny Hardwick, unfortunately, passed away in 2023, and there are few details about how many episodes he potentially recorded before then.
What is the 'King of the Hill' Revival About?
The plot of the "King of the Hill" revival series has been kept under wraps, but it appears the opening has given the world a much closer idea of what the Hill family has been up to. There are likely to be episodes revolving around where they moved to and why they returned to Arlen, Texas.
Also, it has been well-known that Bobby Hill is either training to be a chef or already is one. Either way, more details about the new revival will be dropping in the coming weeks.
When Does the 'King of the Hill' Revival Come Out?
At long last, there is now a release date for the new "King of the Hill" revival. The beloved series is set for release on Aug. 4, exclusively on Hulu.
