A King of the Hill revival has a “very good chance” of happening, according to series co-creator Mike Judge If does, though, it won’t be returning to Fox, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“That’s not going to be with Fox,” said Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn. “We love that team, and we love that show. It’s obviously part of our animation legacy. But where we’re really focusing on animation is launching kind of the next wave of our signature animated series, while still having our great legacy shows.”
Fox is looking to go down the same route that Netflix and Disney did just a couple of years ago when the two broke ties after producing 13 seasons of live-action Marvel content that began with Daredevil. Both organizations were looking to focus on shows they owned rather than splitting up profits and dealing with complicated ownership deals.
