From the videos description,

Better than an Alamo and almost as good as propane. An all new season of #KingofTheHill​ drops Aug 4th on Hulu and with #HuluOnDisneyPlus​.

After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed Arlen, Texas to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane.

What a wild direction Hank's life took.

Also making Bobby's former bully Chane Wassanasong his friend is interesting.

Anyone else pause every second to catch all the scenes? I am seriously pumped for this.

Are people really looking forward to this sort of necromancy ? Show’s over. Move on. There’s other stuff to watch.

I hope it’s good, but I won’t be watching it just because it puppets the corps of King of the Hill.

*You folks online need a hug or something, jeez.

I don't like that you're getting downvoted. A) You've got your own way of talking but I totally get what you're saying. You are mayhapsby some kind of goth baby, and I am picking up this vibe from your text =)! b) I totally get what you're saying. This for sure is something being done to play on people's nostalgia. I heard something about how it's easier to produce sequels and play on individual's nostalgia than to create something new because it needs to establish a fan base to generally be successful. I think with more sub-cultures than ever before (thanks internet!) it's easier to flop new ip because it's harder to find the secret sauce to get the maximum amount of views plausible as audiences are more diverse than ever. I have also felt the way you've felt, about letting sleeping dogs lie. Letting things that have ended fade with dignity and such. I get it. I also see you're doing what you can to stand by your own idealisms, which is to boycott the show. I don't think your comment is worth downvoting, and I think there's like...a subversive element of toxic positivity in people doing so. A wide variety of voices and opinions are needed in this world. Cheers!
