King of the Hill co-creator Mike Judge recently revealed why Hank Hill spent several years in Saudi Arabia before returning to Arlen. In a new interview, the series creator said Hank’s overseas move became a key part of the Hulu revival.

Saladin K. Patterson talks to The Hollywood Reporter about how he kept the revival's sense of humor and characters true to the original, and writing for a Disney-owned streamer about a present-day Texas community.

If there was any show that was going to do well with a new season after 15 years away, it was going to be King Of The Hill. Mike Judge and co-creator Greg Daniels never rooted the show in cheap gags or tried to push through a laugh-a-minute pace.
