...set to premiere in 2026
https://www.vulture.com/article/king...n-ratings.html The King of the Hill revival is a massive hit. According to Vulture's Josef Adalian, Nielsen reported 1.28 billion minutes of viewing minutes for the week of Aug. 4-10, which is second to Netflix's Wednesday. It turns out Hulu already ordered a second season, or 15th season overall. "To be clear, Hulu has not (yet) ordered more episodes of KOTH in response to this month’s strong viewership numbers," says Adalian. "Instead, it turns out that when Hulu announced the KOTH revival back in January 2023, it ordered 20 half-hour episodes, according to people familiar with the matter. While the streamer never publicly specified the size of its episodic commitment — it simply released 10 new episodes as season 14 — that number was no secret to the show’s producers and writers, who were able to plot their story lines accordingly. The fact that Hulu would essentially order two seasons in advance shouldn’t really come as a surprise: Given the long lead times involved with animated projects, doing so was the only way to ensure that, in success, there wouldn’t be a long gap between new seasons of the show. It’s also the model Hulu used when it unfroze Futurama from its decade-long slumber in 2022, though in that case, Hulu revealed its 20-episode order from the start." |
