Netflix’s The Kings of Tupelo Trailer Unveils a True-Crime Saga Like No Other

Date:

The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga, an upcoming three-part documentary series on Netflix, is about a small-town feud that turns into a web of plots, rivalries, and an attempt to kill the President of the United States. Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, which is also the setting for one of the craziest true crime stories ever told.

This show, directed by Emmy-winning duo Maclain Way and Chapman Way (Wild Wild Country, Untold), follows the crazy life of Paul Kevin Curtis, an Elvis impersonator who got involved in a shocking scandal.

The Unbelievable Story Behind The Kings of Tupelo

Curtis grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi. He looked up to Elvis and did a unique double Elvis act with his brother Jack called Double Trouble. But his life took a strange turn when, as part of his job as a maintenance worker, he found something shocking in a morgue. He got lost in conspiracy theories after what he found, which caused chaos in Tupelo and then across the country.

The documentary gives a very clear picture of Curtis’s failing mission to reveal what he thought was a dark side to his hometown. He started a fight that turned into a national scandal when ricin-laced letters were sent to high-level government officials, including President Barack Obama at the time.

Curtis, who was blamed for the attack, was put in the spotlight and had to fight to clear his name and stay out of prison for life.

A one-of-a-kind mix of Southern charm and true crime

The trailer makes it look like the movie will be a memorable mix of Southern culture, Elvis fandom, and a criminal investigation that seems almost too crazy to be true. The official summary of the show teases, “Welcome to Mississippi, where this jaw-dropping story goes from a local drama to a national scandal.”

The Way brothers, who are known for making complicated and exciting stories come to life, call The Kings of Tupelo a “outrageous Southern fever dream.” Curtis’ family, friends, and enemies are interviewed for the series, which reveals every twist and turn of his unbelievable story.

When to Watch

The first episode of The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga will air on Netflix on December 11, 2024. Get ready for a wild ride through Tupelo’s most famous story, where Elvis impersonators, small-town drama, and high-stakes crime all come together in a way that you have to see to believe.

Get ready to see the bad side of Elvis’ hometown and learn why Tupelo is more than just where he was born.
