Superstars aren’t always who they seem to be on the surface. Elvis Presley, for example, moonlights as a vigilante spy in the new teaser for Netflix’s upcoming Agent Elvis, with none other than Matthew McConaughey voicing the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Co-created and co-executive produced by Priscilla Presley, the adult animated series hits Netflix in March.
Agent Elvis follows a fictionalized version of Elvis, who’s covertly inducted into a secret government spy program called TCB. Throughout the teaser, Elvis’ training includes walking on the moon, shaking hands with President Nixon, and kicking lots of ass — all while shaking his hips and signing autographs in-between. “Every once in a while, man accomplishes the impossible,” Elvis says in the beginning. “All it takes is someone with a dream. ‘Cause when man dreams, he can change the world.” See the full Agent Elvis teaser below.
John Eddie also co-created and co-executive produced Agent Elvis, and serves as co-showrunner along with head writer Mike Arnold. McConaughey also serves as an executive producer.
