Skull Island is a Netflix Original animated television series directed by Willis Bulliner and written, developed, and co-showran (with Jacob Robinson) by Brian Duffield. Produced by Legendary Television with animation by Powerhouse Animation Studios, it is both the Monsterverse's first television series and first 2D-animated entry, as well as the first traditionally animated King Kong series since Kong: The Animated Series ended in 2001. The series was originally scheduled to be released to Netflix sometime in 2022,[3] but was pushed back to June 22, 2023.[4] The series follows 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.

Development
Skull Island was announced on Twitter via Netflix's @NXOnNetflix account on January 27, 2021.[8] Subsequent reports that day confirmed the series' writer and showrunners.[9]
On March 30, 2022, Forbes reported on Netflix's presence at AnimeJapan 2022, including the announcement of a 2022 release date for Skull Island,[3] 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.[4][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.[11][12] He also revealed plans for a second season, but stated that it will only happen if "everyone watches season 1."[13] After further questioning on June 22, Duffield described the second season as being "all about [the Hollow Earth]" but "without ever going down into it."[14]
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.[15][16]
The first teaser trailer and a poster were released almost a year later on May 23.[4] A full-length trailer followed on June 9.[17]

Trivia
- A Skullcrawler appears to bleed red when impaled by Kong. This would seem to contradict Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), in which the Skullcrawler Number 10 bleeds green.
- The seventh episode of Skull Island, "You're Not a King, You're Just a Stupid Animal," takes place sometime between Kong: Skull Island (2017) and the rest of the show.[19]
