With the resurging popularity of the King of Rock and Roll, show makers decided what better time to release an animated series, Agent Elvis, than now. The timing of this animated series is perfect, given the release of the live-action Oscar-nominated Elvis film. Releasing an animated version with its fictional twist is the best way to rope in fans and local people. The show Agent Elvis is bound to be a hit given the popularity of the superstar Elvis and the unique idea revolving around the series’ theme.
Agent Elvis Release Date
The series Agent Elvis is set to release on the streaming platform Netflix later this spring, around March 2023 with its ten episodes. No specific release date has been given, but we have no reason to believe it will not be released soon. This is an up-and-coming project for Netflix, considering the rising popularity of animated shows on streaming platforms like Hulu and Netflix.
Agent Elvis Plot
In this upcoming animated series, our very own King of Rock and Roll takes on many gigs as a superstar, but the twist in the story is that he is also a top-secret government spy for a spy agency. As part of this spy program, Elvis takes on many challenges and fights the bad guys. He does all this while managing his day job as a superstar and making hit songs.

Agent Elvis Cast And Production Crew
For now, the only cast that has been confirmed to star in this animated series is Matthew McConaughey. Matthew will play the role of our very own beloved Elvis Presley. Even though it is Matthew’s first time working in an animated series, we do not doubt that he will absolutely rock (pun intended!) this role and portray Elvis Presley in the best way possible. The rest of the cast has yet to be released, but there is no doubt that the cast will absolutely be stellar and put their best foot in!
Elvis’ ex-wife Priscilla Presley is responsible for co-creating this animated series, so the hopes and stakes are incredibly high. Her role in creating the series also promises that the role portrayed in the series will stay true to the Elvis that we all know of and love. This will bring in that extra touch that every Elvis fan would be looking for. Priscilla is also known to have experience working in the comedy series department, so we know that this series has been placed in the right hands.
