When will 'Agent Elvis' premiere on Netflix? Everything you need to know about animated series
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Introducing Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll during the day, a secret government agent who would do anything to protect his country at night. The new TV series 'Agent Elvis' sees the legend race around the globe completing missions as they come. But will he be able to balance both sides of the coin? Priscilla Presley, Elvis' wife, and Netflix's new adult animated series, 'Agent Elvis', will answer all your questions.
Matthew McConaughey voices the rock and roller turned spy in the epic comedy. The sudden rise in Elvis's popularity can be attributed to last year's Baz Luhrmann movie, 'Elvis', which was nominated for the Oscars and starred Austin Butler. Another movie featuring The King is 'Elvis & Nixon', which highlights the meeting between Elvis and then President Richard Nixon - which made Elvis an unofficial government agent. 'Agent Elvis' seems to be a funny and exaggerated take on that same story.
