Record-breaking success for "King of the Hill" revival: Garners 4.4 million views in a week, marking Disney's largest premier for adult animated series in the last half decade.
In an exciting turn of events, the beloved animated sitcom "King of the Hill" has made a triumphant return, with its 14th season officially premiering on Hulu on August 4, 2025. This revival, which was ordered at Hulu back in January of 2023, has been a highly anticipated event since chatter about its potential return began as early as 2017.
The new season has been met with resounding success, both critically and in terms of viewership. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the 14th season of "King of the Hill" boasts a remarkable 98% approval rating based on 45 reviews, indicating strong positive reception. This success is further underscored by its impressive viewership numbers. Within the first seven days of streaming, the season premiere attracted an impressive 4.4 million viewers, making it the most-watched adult animated season premiere on Hulu and Disney+ in the last five years.
The return of "King of the Hill" has not only boosted the viewership of the new season but has also led to a 41% increase in viewership for Seasons 1 through 13. The series has driven more engagements, shares, and new followers than any of this year's first-season Hulu originals.
The current streaming platforms for Season 14 are Hulu in the United States, which released all 10 episodes on August 4, 2025, and Disney+ internationally via the Star Original hub on the same date. In the U.S., the new season is available through Hulu alone or as part of the Disney+ bundle, which includes Hulu and ESPN+ content, with subscription options starting from $7.99 to around $9.99 per month.
The ongoing popularity of "King of the Hill" is evident in the fact that the series has accrued more than 1 billion hours streamed to date across Hulu and Disney+. Since buzz around Season 14 began in early March, the viewership of the first episode of the 14th season has been calculated by dividing the total number of time watched divided by the episode's runtime. The first episode remains among the top five titles on Hulu since its premiere.
In conclusion, the return of "King of the Hill" has been a resounding success, with strong streaming numbers and critical acclaim. The revival has not only rekindled the love for the series among fans but has also attracted a new generation of viewers. The 14th season of "King of the Hill" is currently available for streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
