Fresh Off the Boat Coming to Freeform and UPtv; Comedy Central Gets King of the Hill and The Cleveland Show

Fresh Off the Boat

Fresh Off the Boat reruns are coming to cable networks Freeform and UPtv later this year! No word on exact premiere dates, but could be late fall. Currently the series has 79 episodes through four seasons with the fifth season premiering this fall on ABC on Friday nights to kick-off TGIF. The series hasn't been sold yet for local broadcast syndication, but this cable deal could help that sell soon, as the series was eligible beginning this Fall. Fresh off the Boat is available also on Hulu with every episode on SVOD. The series is set in the late '90s. 1997 was a big year for Eddie Huang (Hudson Yang). He and his family vacationed in Taiwan, he had his first kiss, grieved the untimely death of his rap hero The Notorious B.I.G., graduated from middle school with his crew of misfits firmly intact and is ready to tackle the challenges of high school. Yet, just as the Huangs are finally settling into the suburban Orlando lifestyle, Louis (Randall Park) and Jessica (Constance Wu) make some big decisions that could change everything they know and love about the neighborhood they currently call home.


King of the Hill & The Cleveland Show

Comedy Central welcomes 20th Century Fox's Emmy(R) Award-winning King of the Hill and Emmy(R) Award-nominated The Cleveland Show to their stellar lineup. The #1 brand in comedy has acquired all thirteen seasons of the animated fan favorite King of the Hill, as well as all four seasons of the ensemble comedy The Cleveland Show. King of the Hill will premiere today (Monday, July 23) and The Cleveland Show is set to premiere in the fall.

King of the Hill, which originally aired on Fox from 1997 to 2010, depicts the life and times of Hank Hill, his family and their neighbors in the fictional suburb of Arlen, Texas, the heartland of America. A hard-working, loyal family man and proud Texan, Hank is assistant manager of Strickland Propane. He's an average Joe who sees himself as the voice of common sense and reason in a world of incompetent sales clerks, meddling bureaucrats and do-good liberals. Created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, King of the Hill is executive produced by Judge, Daniels, Howard Klein, Michael Rotenberg, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky.

The Cleveland Show, which originally aired on Fox from 2009 to 2013, follows the Brown-Tubbs blended family headed by Cleveland and his sassy high-school-sweetheart-turned-second-wife Donna. The rest of the household includes Donna's boy-crazy teenage daughter, Roberta; the 5-year-old with an old soul Rallo; and the lovable-but-not-so-bright Cleveland Jr. The Cleveland Show is executive produced by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry and Rich Appel. Kirker Butler serves as Co-Executive Producer and Kara Vallow and Brandi Young produced the series.
