The Hulu revival of “King of the Hill” is continuing to lean into North Texas roots, and viewers are spotting a number of real Dallas-area locations in the new run of episodes. The show returned last year after a 15-year break, and season 15 arrived on July 20 as the second season of its comeback era.
According to the report, the latest seasons feature 10 recognizable Dallas locations. Among the places highlighted are Fair Park and the University of Texas at Dallas, giving fans familiar real-world landmarks to pick out while following the Hill family’s return.
That local detail matters because “King of the Hill” has always been closely tied to the culture and geography of North Texas, even when its stories unfold in the fictional town of Arlen. Using recognizable Dallas sites helps reinforce the regional identity that made the animated series stand out in its original run.
For longtime fans, the new episodes appear to balance nostalgia with updated storytelling, while still keeping the setting grounded in the Dallas area. The inclusion of real landmarks is one more way the revived series connects its new chapter to the Texas backdrop that has always been central to the show.
