Netflix orders Elvis Presley animated spy series
    2019-08-19  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

NETFLIX is adding the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll to its roster of animated series.

The streamer has ordered an adult animated show called “Agent King,” which imagines Elvis Presley trading his white jumpsuit for a jet pack as he’s inducted into a secret government spy program to help battle dark forces that threaten the country he loves — while holding down his day job as the most famous rock ‘n’ roll star on the planet.

The series was announced on the 42nd anniversary of Presley’s death Aug. 16, 1977.

“Agent King” comes from Sony Pictures Animation, Sony Pictures TV and Authentic Brands Group. Priscilla Presley and John Eddie will serve as co-creators and executive producers, and Archer veteran Mike Arnold will write and serve as showrunner.

“From the time Elvis was a young boy he always dreamed of being the superhero fighting crime and saving the world!” said Priscilla Presley, who was married to Elvis from 1967-73. “‘Agent King’ lets him do just that.”

Longtime Presley associate Jerry Schilling will be a consultant on the series. John Varvatos will will custom design Elvis’ wardrobe for the show and also serve as a consulting producer.

“Agent King” will join a roster of adult animated series on Netflix that includes “BoJack Horseman,” “Big Mouth,” “Disenchantment,” “F Is for Family,” “Love, Death & Robots” and “Paradise PD,” along with the forthcoming “The Cuphead Show,” “Hoops,” “Inside Job,” “Q-Force” and an untitled show from “Black-ish” creator Kenya Barris and Kid Cudi.
