Recently, the "King of the Hill" family endured the loss of one of its own. With actor Johnny Hardwick’s untimely death, the man behind the voice of Dale Gribble left behind a legacy of performance in an unforgettable role. And now, after much speculation in the wake of his passing, details about Hardwick’s involvement in the Hulu revival series have finally emerged.

According to information reported by TVLine, “a couple episodes” worth of Hardwick’s voice talents have been completed. With no concrete debut information, except for an intended 2024 release date, it’s uncertain how much of Dale’s upcoming return is left unproduced. There is also no word on whether or not Arlen, Texas’ jack-of-all-trades will be recast for any duration of the series’ future.
