The show is slated to return to its 7 p.m. (Eastern) Sunday slot when Fox's commitments to NFL telecast end this winter.

Zap2it said guest voices for the early part of the season include actor John Goodman and the rock band ZZ Top.

"This season in the heartland of America, Hank (Hill) continues to work hard and takes his love of propane to a whole new level, while Peggy develops a passion for real estate," Fox said in a news release. "Meanwhile, newly engaged Luanne and Lucky (Tom Petty) fight for each other's attention and Bobby gains confidence as a leader at school."

Zap2it reported that because of frequent schedule shifting, it hasn't always been clear how large an audience "King of the Hill" attracts. Last season, the show reportedly averaged at just under 6 million viewers a week.
