Dallas – The king has returned.
The new season of “King of the Hill” fell on Hulu on Monday, and the animation series inspired in North Texas brought back most of the same characters that were based on Fox from 1997 to 2010.
But the return to Arlen was not without a bitter sweet grade.
Dale Gribble from Hank Hill is back for the 14th season, and as we found out, he even ran for the mayor of Arlen while Hank lived abroad (we will restrict the spoilers there).
Unfortunately, the voice behind Gribble is not here to see the return of the show. The language actor Johnny Hardwick died in his house in Austin in August 2023. Although no cause of death was published at first, no foul was suspected.
Hardwick's death occurred while the new season was still in production, although he was apparently able to record some lines for the new season.
Hardwick is attributed to gribbles in six episodes in the new season, including the first three episodes and then 5-7. According to the IMBD. Toby Huss, who previously expressed the characters Cotton Hill and Hank's neighbor Khan Souchanousinphone, is expressed for two episodes of the new season, the season premiere and episode No. 10.
Hardwick paid tribute to the new season at the end of Episode No. 7 and published a “in Loving Memory” photo of Hardwick and its group character.

He also appeared with the performance of stand-up comedy in 1990, in clubs in Austin and Dallas, including Dallas Improv, and was the first comedian to appear in “The Jon Stewart Show”.
Hardwick's death was not the only bittersweet element of returning the show. The actor Jonathan Joss, who spoke John Redcorn, died at a shootout in San Antonio at the beginning of this year.
