| Season chronology | |
The thirteenth and final season of King of the Hill originally aired Sunday nights on the Fox Broadcasting Company from September 28, 2008 to September 13, 2009. Four episodes from this season originally premiered in syndication from May 3 to May 6, 2010.
The showrunners for the season were John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky. Beginning with the episode "Lucky See, Monkey Do", King of the Hill started being produced in 720p 16:9 high-definition. 20th Century Fox Television initially ordered 13 DABE production episodes, but decided to keep the show in production for four additional episodes (DABE14–DABE17).
Because FOX wanted to make room for new shows on their "Animation Domination" line-up, the final six DABE episodes were cut down to two ("The Boy Can't Help It" and "To Sirloin with Love"). Both episodes aired as a special one-hour series finale on September 13, 2009. The other four unaired episodes ("The Honeymooners," "Bill Gathers Moss," "When Joseph Met Lori, and Made Out with Her in the Janitor's Closet," and "Just Another Manic Kahn-Day") did not air on FOX, but did appear in syndicated reruns and on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line-up, as well as appearing on streaming platforms Netflix and Amazon Prime. "To Sirloin with Love" is still considered to be the final episode of the series, despite not being the last episode to air, as it was the last episode produced and written for the series.
Despite being the final season of the series, during the panel discussion for the return of Beavis and Butt-head (another Mike Judge's TV show) at Comic-Con 2011, Judge said that although no current plans exist to revive King of the Hill, he would not rule out the possibility of it returning. On August 8, 2017, it was revealed that Judge and Daniels had talked with Fox executives about a potential revival.
