In addition to the Elvis Presley biopic starring Austin Butler, there is a new, wackier-sounding project in the works inspired by the King of Rock and Roll. Netflix has announced a new show, Agent King, which is described as an "adult animated comedy" in which Elvis becomes recruited by a secret government program to take down the forces of evil. The public is none the wiser, as the legendary performer continues to wow crowds of adoring fans while saving the world.

　　Agent King is produced by King's ex-wife Priscilla Presley, who is also the chairwoman of Elvis Presley Enterprises. Singer John Eddie is also involved with the project, which is being produced by the Sony Pictures Animation (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Smurfs).
