Netflix has unveiled a single image from its upcoming Skull Island animated series during day three of its Geeked Week showcase.
The shot (below) is a classic of any mystery TV series: a lone footprint in the sand. It doesn't take a master detective to work out who this one belongs to though, given the imprint is something like 30 feet wide. Presumably showing Skull Island itself, at the centre of King Kong's footprint stands two characters, likely members of the shipwrecked crew that the series will focus on.
Though it's revealed practically nothing else about the series, Netflix said during its initial announcement that the crew arrives on an island full of monsters, with one king to rule them all (guess who). The series is being developed by Powerhouse Animation, the same studio behind Castlevania's Netflix series (which IGN said was amazing).
Skull Island is set within Legendary's MonsterVerse, which kicked off with 2014's Godzilla. Subsequent films included Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and the latest Godzilla vs. Kong. A further Godzilla vs. Kong sequel has also been announced, plus an untitled Apple TV live-action series, though it's unknown which of the three projects in development (including the Skull Island series) will be released first.
