Aug. 4 (UPI) -- While it has been 15 years since new episodes of King of the Hill aired on Fox, only nine years have passed for the characters in Season 14, premiering Monday on Hulu. Bobby Hill (voice of Pamela Adlon) is now 21 years old and his parents, Hank (Mike Judge) and Peggy (Kathy Najimy) are retired.
In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, ensemble cast members Lauren Tom and Toby Huss said it was easy to adjust to their characters' ages. Tom plays Connie, Bobby's neighbor and classmate in the original series, and a lingering potential love interest.
Tom, 63, shared how Connie is closer in age to her own voice now that the character is in her 20s.
"It was actually harder for me in the beginning to play someone 12," Tom said. "King of the Hill was my first voiceover job so I did a lot of learning as I went."
Huss, 58, previously voiced supporting roles like Hank's father, Cotton. When voice cast member Johnny Hardwick died in 2023, Huss took over Hardwick's character, conspiracy theorist neighbor Dale Gribble.
