Elvis Netflix Show To Release As Priscilla Presley Fights For Lisa Marie Presley’s Trust

Priscilla Presley, who is still mourning the death of her daughter, is also involved in a legal battle with her granddaughter, Riley Keough over an amendment made to the late Lisa Marie Presley’s trust. However, despite the ongoing family feud, the 77-year-old is not holding back on life as she teams up with John Eddie to create an animated series, Agent Elvis.

The Netflix series will star several big names, such as Matthew McConaughey, who will voice Elvis Presley while some other celebrities like Christina Hendricks, Niecy Nash, Kieran Culkin, Don Cheadle, and Jason Mantzoukas will be making guest appearances on the show.

Her legal battle with her granddaughter, Riley Keough

The 77-year-old is challenging the validity and authenticity of her late daughter’s will stating that an alteration was made to Lisa Marie Presley’s Promenade Trust. The amendment made her children Riley and Benjamin Keough co-trustees while excluding Priscilla and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, from the list.

Priscilla alleged that there are many errors in the document that made her doubt the validity, which include the misspelling of her name and the inconsistency of her daughter’s signature. She also argued that the document was never delivered to her while Marie Presley was alive.
