In the series, Elvis Presley becomes part of a government spy program to support the fight against forces threatening the country, according to the streaming platform.
“Ever since he was a child, Elvis dreamed of being a superhero who fights crime and saves the world. Agent King allows him to do that, “said Priscilla Presley, quoted by Variety. “John Eddie, co-creator, and I are thrilled to be working with Netflix and Sony Animation for this wonderful project and to have the opportunity to show the world an Elvis he has never seen before.”
