Adult Swim appears to be losing King of the Hill

According to the online schedule, King of the Hill increases its airtime to 6 hours per night starting next week. On 11/21, it will air its original finale episodes, and on 11/22 it is no longer on the schedule at all, with Bob’s Burgers increasing to 7 episodes a night to cover the normal slots formerly occupied by KotH. 11/21 also marks the 4 year mark of the show returning to AS. 
 

Thoughts? Pretty strong chance the success of the reboot is a big contributing factor here. 
 

We also have the 4 year mark of Futurama coming up at the end of the year. Given how little they air it, think they will let that go too?

Both Futurama and KOTH have future Hulu seasons, and with Hulu under the purview of the Mouse, the rug was going to get pulled sooner or later.

With the company split looming over Adult Swim, the future of the block is a big question mark.

Okay, I will concede that Futurama is not long for Adult Swim for the second time in its history, considering they only air 90 minutes a week. Exclusively on Saturdays after Toonami, Primal, and UWE.

But if King of the Hill goes, then the network has to fill a lot more shoes beginning at 5 PM. Maybe they can fill the slots with Bob's Burgers, but that would just make people hate the show due to oversaturation.

In any case, Step 1 in Adult Swim's new guidebook is under way, and we haven't even hit 2026 yet. Unless they try and get KOTH to stick around, that is.

Unfortunately this is exactly what they are doing. 5-8:30 is gonna be Bob’s Burgers 7 days a week. 
 

The extensions they got were very reliant on KotH and Bobs being around to fill them. Now Bob has to do it all himself and I doubt that is sustainable.

That is not good in the slightest.
