Variety reports that a few rats… er, insiders, at Fox have spilled the beans in regards to King of the Hill’s future. It turns out that ABC is interested in acquiring the series. The reason behind the interest is due to ABC’s upcoming animated show “The Goode Family,” which coincidentally is created by Mike Judge, the creator of King of the Hill. It seems as though the network wants to pair up two animated together because as history shows, animated shows do best when paired with other animated shows.

Other networks interested in possibly acquiring the series, and continuing on where Fox leaves off, are Cartoon Network, FX, and Comedy Central — although it’s believed that there is little to no chance of such a move happening due to the show’s per episode cost.
