King of the Hill showrunner says Jonathan Joss’ passing was not the reason for John Redcorn’s big change this season

King of the Hill is now back for season 15, which is the second season since it returned after a 15-year hiatus. In season 14, Hank Hill (Mike Judge) and his wife Peggy (Kathy Najimy) came home to the small town of Arlen, Texas after spending several years in Saudi Arabia. When they returned, they caught up on the lives of their neighbors, most of whom hadn’t changed all that much. However, there was one big difference: Nancy Gribble (Ashley Gardner) had resumed her affair with John Redcorn (Jonathan Joss) — which had ended way back in season 4 — unbeknownst to her husband Dale (Johnny Hardwick/Toby Huss).
