Agent King (Elvis Presley, adult animated series) Netflix

[Himmel]

Netflix has given a series order to Agent King, an adult animated comedy series about the King himself, Elvis Presley, from Priscilla Presley, John Eddie, Sony Pictures Animation, Sony Pictures Television and Authentic Brands Group. Today’s announcement comes on the 42nd anniversary of Elvis’ death.

Co-created by Presley and Eddie, in the series, Elvis trades 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 ‘n’ Roll.

“From the time Elvis was a young boy he always dreamed of being the superhero fighting crime and saving the world — Agent King lets him do just that,” his widow Presley said. “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.”

Presley and Eddie will executive produce with Authentic Brands Group’s Jamie Salter. Mike Arnold (Archer) will serve as showrunner, writer and executive producer.

The announcement comes at the end of “Elvis Week” — an annual celebration of the King’s music, movies and legacy.

This reporter saw a sizzle for “Agent King,” an upcoming, adults-only animated series for Netflix that imagines Elvis as an undercover CIA agent. He shoots people in the head and his pet chimpanzee snorts lines of cocaine. (It should be noted that Priscilla and the entire estate have wholeheartedly endorsed the project) The “Agent King” art style is graphic and 2D, with animation handled by Titmouse, and Elvis’ costumes were designed by John Varvatos (yes seriously).
