Get ready because King of the Road is making a return in 2026!
This iconic skateboarding reality show, which has become a fan favorite over the years, is set to make its comeback.
The rumors around the return of King of the Road started after a recent episode of Thrasher Magazine’s "Cold Call" series, featuring pro skater Victor "Doobie" Pellegrin hanging out with pro skateboarder and filmer Chris Gregson.
A comment from Kenny Smith, a skater and YouTube user with the handle @prashanththambipillai2821, caught the attention of Thrasher.
He commented on the video, asking, "King of the road 2025 please," clearly hoping to see the show return soon.
Thrasher responded in a way that got everyone talking, which they replied: "2026."
This straightforward reply has sparked excitement and speculation among fans about the future of the show.
It seems that Thrasher is already in the process of filming for the next season of King of the Road, and skaters are anticipating what’s next.
For those who may not be familiar, King of the Road is a skateboarding competition where different skate teams compete in a variety of challenges, traveling around to some of the most iconic skate spots across the country.
The show has always been a unique mix of skateboarding, camaraderie, and gnar sh*t, like literally sometimes they do sh*t to get points and yeah it’s been a major part of skateboarding culture for years.
The question now is whether King of the Road will be renewed on Vice TV.
While Thrasher’s comment suggests they are moving forward with the show, there’s been no official word on whether it will air on the same network as before.
Fans are hopeful that Vice TV will continue to broadcast the series, especially considering how well it was received during its past runs.
As we wait for more details, we already know that the return of King of the Road is going to be one of the most exciting things for skateboarding fans to look forward to in 2026.
