A live-action King Kong series is coming to Disney Plus  

Another franchise coming to the small screen

A brand new project based on the well-known King Kong franchise is being prepared by Disney for Disney Plus , which according to Deadline will be produced by James Wan .

Information so far is scarce and the King Kong TV series will have plenty of action and adventure, with the classic story set in modern times. The events will take place on Skull Island and we will see as it is known a new Kong.

Paper Girls ‘ Stephany Folsom will write the series and explore King Kong’s mythology and origins, as well as supernatural mysteries based on the original books by Merian C. Cooper and the novels by Joe DeVito .

Stephany Folsom also executive produces alongside Wan, Michael Clear and Rob Hackett for Atomic Monster and Dannie Festa for World Builder Entertainment.

However, the upcoming King Kong series appears to be unrelated to the Legendary films.
