The iconic ape-king may currently be tearing up skull-crawlers in Legendary's Kong: Skull Island movie, but Deadline now reports that the classic movie monster will soon be the focus of his very first live-action TV series.

MarVista Entertainment and IM Global Television have teamed for King Kong Skull Island, which is said to be a "serialized, contemporary continuation of the classic with a female-led, multi-cultural ensemble that delves fully into the wonders and horrors of Skull Island and its origins."

Of course, Kong met his end at the conclusion of the original film, so it remains to be seen exactly how this series aims to continue that story.

What do you make of this news? More details over at Deadline.
