Not only will ATX TV Fest attendees get a chance to see “King of the Hill‘s” premiere, but the cast and creators will also hold a panel conversation to discuss the series and revisit past episodes and their experiences working on the show.

That panel includes Pamela Adlon, who voices Bobby Hill, Toby Huss, and co-creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge. The latter also voices the titular character Hank Hill and his close friend Boomhauer.

“King of the Hill” is the second series by Mike Judge to see a revival. The first being, of course, “Beavis and Butthead,” which according to Variety, will have its third season debut on Comedy Central this July. Its first two seasons previously aired on Paramount+ and were preceded by its revival film, “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.”
