Fans of Arlen, Texas, have been buzzing with anticipation ever since news broke about the King of the Hill reboot—and the release of the brand-new trailer has only turned up the heat. While it’s a thrill to see Hank, Peggy, Bobby, and the gang back in action, the trailer brings a few surprises. Most notably, the voice acting, while nostalgic, comes across a bit stiff this time around, with some lines lacking the natural warmth and humor that defined the original series. It’s still a treat to hear those familiar voices, but longtime fans might notice a difference in the delivery.
Visually, the show’s new animation style has sparked conversation as well. The reboot leans into a flash animation look, giving characters and backgrounds a slightly janky feel that’s common in many modern revivals. This updated style may take some getting used to for purists who loved the hand-drawn charm of the original. All things considered, the trailer promises plenty of classic King of the Hill humor and relatable moments—just with a modern twist that’s sure to get fans excited for the premiere on August 4th.
