Last Summer, Fox announced plans to develop a revival of King of the Hill, based on the success of revivals like X-Files, Will & Grace, Full House, and the upcoming Roseanne. On the red carpet for PaleyFest honoring his show Silicon Valley, Mike Judge told Rotten Tomatoes he would revisit the Hill family, but only if he could make them older.

“It would have to have a passage of time,” Judge said. “People have grown up. I think The Simpsons are so iconic just the way they’re drawn, you can keep Bart that same age for 60 years. Our characters, it was starting to strain a little bit to have Bobby still be that age for that long.”

King of the Hill ran for 13 seasons on Fox. It was almost canceled after season 10, but hung on for three more years.

“Two hundred and seventy five episodes wasn’t enough,” Judge joked. “We’ve talked about a way to bring it back. I think it would have to be different.”

King of the Hill revival talks have started again, set to be 15 years later. (https://www.techradar.com/sg/news/animated-sitcom-king-of-the-hill-is-close-to-a-revival)

Former King of the Hill writer/producer Brent Forrester revealed the potential news Tuesday in a Reddit AMA (https://www.reddit.com/r/Screenwriting/comments/m5wa0v/i_am_brent_forrester_tv_writer_the_office_the/). Asked if King of the Hill could be coming back, the sitcom vet responded: "I am sure Greg Daniels and Mike Judge will murder me for sharing this but... HELL YES. They are in hot negotiations to bring back King of the Hill. The Trump administration made it suddenly very relevant again. The characters have all aged 15 years. The project is sooooo good. Okay I've said too much :)" King of the Hill premiered in 1997 and aired for 13 seasons through 2010.
