Hank Hill has returned from working at Saudi Aramco and continues to live in good health
The much-anticipated revival of the animated show "King of the Hill" has made its debut on streaming platform Hulu, and one of the most intriguing developments is Hank Hill's new employment at Saudi Aramco.
Hank, a blue-collar conservative man living in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas, who sells propane and propane accessories, now works for the Saudi Arabian oil giant. This employment scenario is a plausible extension of Hank's character, given his deep ties to the energy sector.
Saudi Aramco, with its extensive operations in the U.S., particularly in Texas, aligns perfectly with the show's themes and the realities of the global energy industry. The company's U.S. presence dates back more than 70 years, with Aramco America employing over 500 people domestically and operating research centers in Boston, Detroit, and Houston.
Notably, Saudi Aramco's first international downstream joint venture was with US oil brand Texaco in 1989, which eventually led to Saudi Aramco owning North America’s largest crude oil refinery, located in Texas. Globally, the company employs more than 75,000 people.
The revival's narrative also ties Hank's personal and professional life to the real-world energy industry's global dynamics. In the first episode, Hank returns from Saudi Arabia, where he had been working for several years as the assistant manager in charge of Arabian propane and propane accessories for Saudi Aramco. His wife, Peggy, is also depicted speaking with passengers on a plane, indicating that they have been living in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
The revival of "King of the Hill" is receiving attention not only for its comeback but also for the interesting connection between Hank's employment at Saudi Aramco and the company's long-standing presence in the U.S. energy sector. This unique storyline adds a fresh twist to the beloved character of Hank Hill, making the revival a must-watch for fans of the original series.
