An original animation project for adults will start on Netflix in March: Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey (53) lends his distinctive voice to none other than the “King of Rock and Roll” Elvis Presley (1935-1977) in the animated series “Agent Elvis”.

A first short teaser trailer sets the mood for the upcoming series.
That’s what “Agent Elvis” is about
Elvis Presley is recruited into a secret spy program in “Agent Elvis”. While still going about his day job as the King of Rock and Roll, he helps fight dark forces that threaten his beloved homeland. The king is supported by his sidekick Scatter, a chimpanzee that the real Elvis Presley also owned.
Priscilla Presley: Elvis Presley always wanted to be a superhero

The series “Agent Elvis” would “now let him do just that”. The showrunner for the upcoming Netflix series is Mike Arnold, who previously wrote the animated hit “Archer.” Elvis’ digital outfit in “Agent Elvis” was designed by fashion designer John Varvatos (68).
