A live-action Disney+ series about King Kong’s origin is in early development.
The character of King Kong has inspired a number of movies since his 1933 debut, including a 2005 remake helmed by Peter Jackson and 2017’s Kong: Skull Island. According to Variety, the Disney+ series will explore new territory with the character.

Written by Paper Girls creator Stephany Folsom, King Kong is a serialized action-adventure drama that brings the classic monster story into the modern age. It will feature a return to Skull Island and the origin of a new Kong. The Disney+ series will explore the mythology of King Kong’s origin story and the supernatural mysteries of his home based on lore from Merian C. Cooper’s original books and the new King Kong novelizations by Joe DeVito.
Also, this marks the second live-action show about iconic movie monsters set up at a streaming service. Apple is currently prepping a series about Godzilla and the Titans, with Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt Russell recently announced as stars. That series is connected to the Monsterverse films, while the King Kong Disney+ show is a separate entity.
