Agent King finds Elvis ditching his iconic jumpsuit to become a government spy. The show will be co-produced by Priscilla Presley and John Eddie.

Agent King lets him do just that,” Priscilla Presley said in a press release.

Fletcher Moules, who is working on a Ghostbusters animated project, will be the show’s supervising director and co-executive producer. Jerry Schilling, who was one of Elvis’ close friends, will be a consultant.
No release date for this series has been announced.
