Overview
- All ten episodes of Season 14 launched Aug. 4 on Hulu and Disney+ after a decade-long leap that finds Bobby at 21 and Hank and Peggy returning from Saudi Arabia in retirement.
- Pamela Adlon, Mike Judge and Kathy Najimy reprise their roles, while Toby Huss steps in for the late Johnny Hardwick as Dale Gribble with one episode dedicated to Hardwick’s final recordings.
- Saladin K. Patterson guided subtle visual updates—including graying hair and added facial lines—to reflect the characters’ maturation and honored Jonathan Joss’s contributions after his death.
- Early reviews praise the revival’s blend of nostalgia and sharp satire on modern life, from ride-hailing apps and electric cars to gender-neutral bathrooms and cancel culture.
- In interviews, cast members like Lauren Tom and Toby Huss said shifting their performances to match older characters and new storylines—such as ethical nonmonogamy and cultural appropriation—felt seamless and timely.
