Netflix has ordered a series from Priscilla Presley and John Eddie
The brand new adult animated action-comedy series, Agent King, was announced by the streaming giant on the 42nd anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death.
According to Netflix, Agent King will see “Elvis Presley trade in his white jumpsuit for a jet pack when he is covertly inducted into a secret government spy program to help battle the dark forces that threaten the country he loves — all while holding down his day job as the King Of Rock And Roll.”
“From the time Elvis was a young boy he always dreamed of being the superhero fighting crime and saving the world!” Priscilla added in a statement. “Agent King lets him do just that. My co-creator John Eddie and I are so excited to be working with Netflix and Sony Animation on this amazing project and getting the chance to show the world an Elvis they haven’t seen before.”
Co-creators Presley and Eddie will also serve as executive producers with Mike Arnold serving as showrunner. Jerry Schilling is on board as a consultant with menswear designer John Varvatos creating Elvis’s looks for the show.
