King Kong is heading to TV. The infamous massive monster is getting his own TV series "King Kong Skull Island". The project is developed by MarVista Entertainment and IM Global Television. Unlike the movie, the TV version will be led by a female hero. It will be the first live-action TV program in the Kong universe.

The series will be a contemporary continuation of the classic movie, featuring multicultural ensemble that delves into the wonders and horrors of Skull Island and its origins. It's written by Jonathan Penner and Stacy Title ("The Bye Bye Man") based on Merian C. Cooper's "King Kong and DeVito ArtWorks' Skull Island".

In the newest movie reboot "Kong: Skull Island", the giant monster is fighting reptilian skullcrawlers. Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson and Brie Larson are among the cast. A part of Legendary's MonsterVerse, King Kong will be pitted against Godzilla in the next movie "Godzilla vs. Kong".
