Netflix has dropped a fully rocking, explosive and outrageous trailer for Agent Elvis, the new adult animated comedy series from Sony Pictures Animation that sees the music legend fulfill his lifelong dream of being a super spy. The spot promises plenty of secret agent action, femmes fatales and at least one monkey with questionable habits when the show drops on Friday, March 17.
Joining previously announced voice of Elvis Matthew McConaughey on the cast list are:
- Kaitlin Olson as CeCe Ryder – CeCe is the unpredictable, highly skilled secret agent who barges into Elvis’ life when he joins TCB. A product of the counterculture, she enjoys annoying Elvis but is always mission-focused. Except for when she isn’t.
- Johnny Knoxville as Bobby Ray – Elvis’ best friend and not-so-bright sidekick. He’s Elvis’ entourage all wrapped up into one and fully devoted to his boss, The King of Rock n Roll.
- Niecy Nash as Bertie – Bertie is the strong-willed mother figure who has known Elvis since he was in diapers. She runs his day-to-day life and is the only one who can go toe-to-toe with Elvis.
- Tom Kenny as Scatter – Elvis’ weaponized, chain-smoking, degenerate former NASA chimp with a trigger happy dark side.
- Don Cheadle as The Commander – The mysterious 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.
The guest star line-up includes 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 and Tony Cavalero. Priscilla Presley, former wife of Elvis and co-creator of the series with John Eddie, will also be voicing herself in the show.
Synopsis: 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.
The series is the first adult animated project from Sony Pictures Animation (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) and is produced in partnership with Authentic Brands Group and Titmouse. Elvis Presley’s iconic look is brought into animation with the help of Academy Award nominee Robert Valley, and Agent Elvis’ wardrobe is designed by legendary fashion designer John Varvatos.
Mike Arnold is series showrunner, head writer and executive producer, with John Eddie as co-showrunner and writer. Executive producers are Kevin Noel, Matthew McConaughey, Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, Ben Kalina, Jamie Salter, Corey Salter and Marc Rosen. Fletcher Moules (Entergalactic) is co-exec producer.
