Jonathan Rhys Meyers transforms into the King—hips, voice, and that smolder included.
Season 1 • Episode 2
LatestBiographical miniseries chronicling the rise of American music icon Elvis Presley from his high school years to his international superstardom.
Acting
JRM's hips and voice—uncanny, not impersonation.
Production
Period-perfect costumes that scream 1950s Memphis.
Sound
Meyers sang live—no lip-sync cop-outs here.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Meyers studied Elvis's gospel roots specifically, arguing the spiritual desperation in his voice was the key to the performance.
The miniseries barely addresses Elvis's debt to Black musicians—a glaring omission given the 2005 release and later cultural reckonings.
