King of the Hill Season 14 Cast and Character Guide: Returning and New Voice Actors in the Hulu Revival
After a 15-year hiatus, King of the Hill is officially back with Season 14. The beloved animated sitcom returns with a fresh perspective while preserving its nostalgic charm. Streaming now on Hulu in the US and Disney+ in the UK, the new season revisits the Hill family and their Arlen neighbors—this time aged up and navigating a more modern world.
From the original voice cast to exciting new additions, here’s your complete cast and character guide for King of the Hill Season 14.
New Voice Actors Join the Cast in Season 14
Season 14 introduces several recast roles to reflect more authentic cultural representation, aligning with industry-wide changes in animation.
- Tai Leclaire takes over as Joseph Gribble, bringing a fresh voice to Dale’s eccentric son.
- Ki Hong Lee joins as Chane Wassanasong, Bobby’s academically competitive classmate.
- Kenneth Choi voices Ted Wassanasong, contributing to a more authentic portrayal.
- Ronny Chieng now voices Kahn Souphanousinphone, the Hills’ memorable Laotian neighbor.
The revival also welcomes entirely new characters:
- Keith David voices Brian Robertson, adding depth to the town of Arlen.
- Anthony ‘Critic’ Campos plays Emilio, a new face in the evolving community.
This mix of old and new enriches the series with contemporary relevance while keeping the core tone intact.
According to Soap Central, these changes reflect a wider trend toward authentic representation in modern animation, adding freshness to the revived series without losing its heart.
Returning Voice Actors Keep the Nostalgia Alive
The charm of King of the Hill wouldn’t be complete without its original core cast:
- Mike Judge returns as Hank Hill and the iconic Boomhauer. His propane-loving everyman voice remains the soul of the show.
- Kathy Najimy reprises her role as Peggy Hill, the confident substitute teacher and Boggle enthusiast.
- Pamela Adlon is back as Bobby Hill, now reimagined as an adult chef living in Dallas.
- Stephen Root continues his role as Bill Dauterive, the loveably pitiful neighbor.
- Lauren Tom returns to voice both Connie and Minh Souphanousinphone, keeping the Souphanousinphone household alive in Arlen.
Notably, the late Johnny Hardwick, who voiced Dale Gribble, recorded dialogue for six episodes before his passing in 2023. Toby Huss, known for voicing multiple characters in the original series, stepped in to complete Dale’s scenes.
Sadly, the characters Luanne and Lucky, once voiced by Brittney Murphy and Tom Petty, are absent due to the actors’ untimely deaths before the revival.
A Revival That Honors the Past and Embraces the Future
Set years after the original finale, Season 14 ages up its characters and reintroduces them with new dynamics, reflecting real-world cultural shifts in the animation industry. The writing balances heartfelt storytelling with the offbeat, small-town humor that made King of the Hill a cultural staple.
This return is not just a reboot—it’s a continuation, evolution, and tribute to the show’s legacy and fanbase.
