Elvis Presley is a Super Spy in Cool New Trailer For AGENT ELVIS; All-Star Voice Cast Revealed
We’ve got a great new trailer for you to watch for Netflix’s upcoming animated series Agent Elvis! In the series, Elvis is recruited as a secret agent, and he finds himself on all kinds of wild adventures saving the world.
Matthew McConaughey voices Elvis and now the rest of the cast has been revealed! That cast includes Kaitlin Olson, Johnny Knoxville, Niecy Nash, Tom Kenny, Don Cheadle, Ed Helms, Jason Mantzoukas, Christina Hendricks, Kieran Culkin, Chris Elliot, Asif Ali, Fred Armisen, Ego Nwodim, Simon Pegg, Craig Robinson, Gary Cole, George Clinton, Tara Strong, Tony Cavalero, and Priscilla Presley voices herself in the series.
In the series, “Elvis Presley trades in his jumpsuit for a jet pack when he is covertly inducted into a secret government spy program to battle the dark forces that threaten the country he loves – all while holding down his day job as the King of Rock and Roll.”
Olson will voice CeCe Ryder, “the unpredictable and highly skilled secret agent who barges into Elvis’ life when he joins TCB. As a product of the counterculture, she enjoys annoying Elvis but she’s still a headstrong, mission-focused agent.”
Knoxville will voice Bobby Ray, “Elvis’ not-so-smart best friend and sidekick. As Elvis’ one-man entourage, he’s fully devoted to his boss.”
Nash plays Bertie, “Elvis’ strong-willed mother figure who runs his day-to-day life and is the only one who can go challenge Elvis. Kenny plays Scatter, Elvis’ weaponized, chain-smoking, degenerate former NASA chimp with a trigger happy dark side.”
Cheadle voices The Commander, “The unknown spy master who runs the covert agency known as The Central Bureau (TCB). “He’s the mercurial man in charge who knows where all the non-metaphorical bodies are buried,” reads the character’s description.”
Agent Elvis was created by Priscilla Presley and John Eddie. Mike Arnold serves as showrunner, head writer and executive producer alongside Eddie, who serves as co-showrunner and writer. The series will consist of ten episodes and it’s described as an “irreverent action comedy” that follows Elvis “as he lives a double-life as a secret agent.”
Priscilla previously said in a statement: “From the time Elvis was a young boy he always dreamed of being the superhero fighting crime and saving the world! Agent Elvis lets him do just that. My co-creator John Eddie and I are so excited to be working with Netflix and Sony Animation on this amazing project and getting the chance to show the world an Elvis they haven’t seen before.”
Vancouver-based Titmouse served as the animation studio with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina serving as Executive Producers and Gary Ye as Supervising Director, Chris Thompson as Art Director, and Josue Sanchez as Editor. Robert Valley created original character designs, and Agent Elvis’ wardrobe was designed by John Varvatos. Music and original score was composed by Tyler Bates and Timothy Williams.
This looks like a fun series, and it will drop on Netflix on March 17th, 2023!
