It’s hard not to be cynical about most Hollywood reboots.
Sometimes, popular films or TV shows are given a fresh take, which can be met with mixed feelings. For instance, the revamped version of a cherished series might align with current social and political ideologies, such as the reboot of “Will & Grace.” In other cases, the new title may only share its original name for brand recognition, but little else in terms of plot or characters. This can be intentional, aiming to capitalize on the IP’s popularity while offering a distinctly different viewing experience.
Hulu’s “King of the Hill” reboot may be different.
The original series ended in 2009, but the creative forces in Hollywood thought it was time for another serving of Hank Hill and his companions.
The initial, complete trailer for the upcoming series, set to premiere on August 4 across Hulu and Disney+, presents a glimmer of optimism.
The reboot will originate from the core group of initial creators – Mike Judge and Greg Daniels. In this new phase, Hank and Peggy Hill are seen enjoying their post-retirement years in Texas while discovering fresh aspects of their lives. Their son Bobby Hill has grown up into a young man, expanding the narrative’s potential.
In a particularly intriguing twist, the reboot allows the down-to-earth group to grapple with contemporary societal norms. For instance, gender-neutral restrooms become a subject of discussion.
This serves as a friendly heads-up that Judge, in the past, humorously criticized contemporary cultural sensitivities through his temporary creation, “The Goode Family.
In my opinion, that particular sitcom didn’t resonate much with the audience, but it certainly showcased Judge’s unique talent for poking fun at cultural icons in a way that was neither harsh nor polarizing.
That’s no small feat.
It seems the upcoming “King of the Hill” successor plans to follow in the same footsteps. This is ripe for comedy exploration, yet many screenwriters shy away from it, allowing a reimagined sitcom to pave the path forward instead.
