— Tagline

Skull Island is an upcoming Netflix Original animated television series co-produced by Legendary Television and Tractor Pants,[5] based on the former's Monsterverse series of films. Animated by Powerhouse Animation Studios,[6] it is the first television series in the Monsterverse as well as its first entry to be 2D-animated, and the first traditionally animated King Kong series since Kong: The Animated Series ended in 2001. It was originally scheduled to be released to Netflix sometime in 2022,[7] but was pushed back to June 22, 2023.[8] The series will follow a cast of characters who find themselves shipwrecked on the titular Skull Island, where they encounter a host of its monstrous native creatures including its self-appointed Titan guardian: Kong.

Description

“
A new chapter in Legendary's Monsterverse franchise, Skull Island is a thrilling animated adventure series that follows shipwrecked characters desperate to escape the most dangerous place on Earth — a mysterious island home to prehistoric monsters, including the greatest titan of them all, Kong.[9][3]
„

Development

Skull Island was announced on Twitter via Netflix's @NXOnNetflix account on January 27, 2021.[6] Subsequent reports that day confirmed the series' writer and showrunners.[5]

On March 30, 2022, Forbes reported on Netflix's presence at AnimeJapan 2022, including the announcement of a 2022 release date for Skull Island,[7] which it did not meet.

An updated release date of June 22, 2023 was announced that May 23, along with the series' main voice cast.[8][10]

On June 1, co-showrunner Brian Duffield took to Twitter to answer fan questions about Skull Island. Key announcements included the show's length of eight episodes and setting of the early 1990s.[4][11] He also revealed plans for a second season, but stated that it will only happen if "everyone watches season 1."[12]

Marketing

The first image from the series, depicting two characters huddled in the footprint of Kong, was posted by various Twitter accounts including Legendary's and Kong: Skull Island's on June 8.[13][14]

The first teaser trailer and a poster were released almost a year later on May 23.[8] A full-length trailer followed on June 9.[15]
