From “The X-Files” to “24: Legacy” to “Prison Break,” Fox has been in the business of reviving beloved series of late.

The next series to make that list may just be “King of the Hill.”.

“We have had preliminary conversations with Greg [Daniels] and Mike [Judge],” Dana Walden, Chairman and CEO of Fox Television Group, says.

Given what’s going on in the country, I think they had a point of view about how those characters would respond.”.

Walden adds that Fox has only had one meeting earlier this summer with Daniels and Judge about the idea thus far, but she “would like to revisit it.”.

The show’s original run featured 259 episodes, achieved global syndication, and became one of the network’s longest running series to date.

It also briefly held the record for the second longest running animated sitcom in history and won two Emmy awards. »
