Netflix plans futuristic King Kong animated series

October 1, 2014 by James Garcia

Legendary’s upcoming King Kong film Skull Island won’t be the only tale featuring the King of the Apes headed our way in 2016, as EW reports that Netflix has set their eyes on a King Kong animated series to debut the same year.

Titled Kong – King of the Apes, the series will be vastly different than any Kong stories we’ve seen before, as it takes place 35 years in the future. Here’s the full description:

Set in 2050, Kong becomes a wanted fugitive after wrecking havoc at Alcatraz Island’s Natural History and Marine Preserve. What most humans on the hunt for th eformidable animal don’t realize, though, is that Kong was framed by an evil genius who plans to terrorize the world with an army of enormous robotic dinosaurs. As the only beast strong enough to save humanity from the mechanical dinos, Kong must rely on the help of three kids who know the truth about him.

The series will obviously be targeted to kids, and comes from Netflix, 41 Entertainment and The Amazing Spider-Man producer Avi Arad. The series will be presented in CGI animation and introduced through a feature-length film that will then be followed up by 12 half-hour episodes. Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos released the following statement about the project:

“We’re thrilled to be working with Avi who has made some of the most successful action and adventure franchises today and whose Pacman and the Ghostly Adventure series has been very popular on Netflix around the world. With 41 Entertainment as our partner on this, we continue to work with some of the finest animation studios around the world to create shows that will appeal to kids of all ages globally.”

What do you think of this news? Will you be tuning in to Kong – King of the Apes when it hits the streaming service in 2016?
