A King Kong TV series is headed to Disney Plus, according to a new report. Deadline reports that Disney Branded Television is now in “very early development” on a original story about the iconic ape.
The report said deals to make the show have “just closed,” and it will be the first live-action Kong TV show. It’s being produced by Atomic Monster, the production company founded by James Wan (Conjuring, Aquaman 2).
The Kong TV series is described as a “serialized action-adventure drama that brings the classic monster story into the modern age, with a return to Skull Island and the dawn of a new Kong.”
