Hulu’s ‘King of the Hill’ Revival to Feature Original Score by John Frizzell and End Titles Music by Billy Strings
John Frizzell (Alien: Resurrection, Office Space, Dante’s Peak, The Waterfront, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, Legion, Thirteen Ghosts, Gods and Generals) is returning to score Hulu’s revival of the animated hit series King of the Hill. The composer has scored all ten episodes of the new season of the show created by Mike Judge & Greg Daniels and starring Judge himself, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Stephen Root, Johnny Hardwick, Lauren Tom and Toby Huss. Bluegrass singer/songwriter and guitarist Billy Strings has contributed a new arrangement of The Refreshment’s theme “song” for the end titles sequence of the animated comedy. Season 14 follows Hank and Peggy Hill who – after years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg – return to a changed Arlen, Texas to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill.
