Although King of the Hill" has been on the air for a full 15 years, its audiences have never really left.
This classic adult animated comedy created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels has finally returned to Season 14 after years of silence.On August 4, this highly anticipated new season premiered on Hulu, and the first episode received up to 4.4 million views in just seven days.This data is calculated by dividing the total viewing time by the length of a single episode, which not only sets the highest record in five years since the adult animated series on Hulu and Disney, but also makes this classic come to the spotlight again.
What is even more surprising is that after the new season started, King of the Hill quickly topped Hulu's Top 15 list and continued to rank among the top five.Up to now, the cumulative playback time of the entire series on Hulu and Disney platforms has exceeded 1 billion hours, which shows its time-honored charm.
Not only that, the launch of the new season has also rekindled the audience's enthusiasm for the past thirteen seasons.According to Disney, since the news about Season 14 was exposed in early March this year, the viewing time of the first thirteen seasons has increased by 26 million hours, an increase of up to 41%.This is not only a continuation of love for the plot, but also a deep look back on an era.
On social media, King of the Hill also set off a nostalgic wave.According to data released by Disney, the show's video views on social platforms exceeded all Hulu's original comedy works this year, and the number of interactions, retweets and new followers is far ahead of other Hulu's original series launched this year.
From 1997 to 2009, King of the Hill accompanied countless audiences through their youth, and the final four episodes ended in 2010 in syndication.As early as 2017, rumors about the resurrection of the show were quietly circulated, until January 2023, Hulu officially announced its restart plan.Today, this work that carries collective memory has once again won the hearts of the audience with a high-quality return of a season - Season 14 received a positive review rate of up to 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.
