I am past excited to see the King Of The Hill revival make its debut on the 2025 TV schedule, and every new video or piece of data ups my anticipation for August. This contains the brand new footage proven within the Father’s Day video, which gave us a great take a look at grownup Bobby Hill. And I can say that as a result of I did not anticipate to see one other character who might be extra necessary than I initially thought.
After making an entire bunch of theories in regards to the first poster and the brand new opening sequence, I am able to deal with one thriller character I assumed wasn’t a significant factor till now. For readers who don’t know what I am speaking about, let’s discuss this thriller man and the way he may issue into the brand new episodes:
Who Is This Thriller Character At Hank’s Cookout?
There’s an unfamiliar face at Bobby’s reunion with Hank within the yard BBQ, and one has to marvel why he is there for such an enormous second. To be clear, this is not the primary time we have seen this man (pictured above on the highest left), as he is featured prominently within the new intro for the Hulu collection.
What’s extra necessary is that he seems to be to be the one that strikes into Hank’s home whereas he and Peggy are overseas in Saudi Arabia. As such, I would not think about he and Hank know one another very properly, however he appears ingratiated with Boomhauer, Dale, and Invoice properly sufficient to be at this cookout.
Is This Character The Key To How Hank Is In a position To Transfer Again In?
After re-watching the intro, I noticed a key that would clarify this new character and why Hank and Peggy are capable of transfer into their new dwelling so simply. I seen that whereas the couple moved away, there was by no means a for-sale signal on their home. I feel it is attainable that they by no means really bought, and that this new character labored as a caretaker within the dwelling whereas they have been gone.
Whereas we do not understand how or why this particular person was entrusted to look after the Hill home, I do have a concept that he is nonetheless residing within the dwelling. Maybe he’s in Bobby’s room, contemplating it would not appear as if he is residing together with his dad and mom any longer. I’ve seen on-line theories that he is a part of an alternate program, being somebody from Saudi Arabia who swapped properties with Hank once they went overseas. I am unsure I am on board with that concept particularly, however I feel it is believable.
I do like the thought of somebody, probably from one other nation, residing with the Hills. With Bobby out of the home, and maybe a bit extra self-aware than he was in his youthful years, Hank wants somebody to problem his worldview and push him out of his consolation zone. Conditions like that may make me really feel extra like I am watching this present again within the day on Fox, and never bingeing it with my Hulu subscription. Not that there is something incorrect with that, after all, it simply helps me really feel much more nostalgic whereas watching.
King Of The Hill returns on Hulu on August 4th. So, fill up on propane and propane equipment prematurely of recent episodes. I am unable to wait to study extra about this thriller character, in addition to what is going on on with all of the characters from the unique collection we love.
