MONSTERVERSE TM & © LegendarySeason one of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS tracks two siblings looking to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell). The first season takes place in the 1950s, as well as half a century later when Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows.
Season two will pick up with the fate of Monarch — and the world — hanging in the balance. The dramatic saga reveals buried secrets that reunite our heroes (and villains) on Kong’s Skull Island, and a new, mysterious village where a mythical Titan rises from the sea. The ripple effects of the past make waves in the present day, blurring the bonds between family, friend and foe — all with the threat of a Titan event on the horizon.
Hailing from Legendary Television, MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS is executive produced by Joby Harold (OBI-WAN KENOBI, TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS) and Tory Tunnell (SPINNING OUT, UNDERGROUND) from Safehouse Pictures, alongside Chris Black (SEVERANCE, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, OUTCAST), Jen Roskind, Matt Shakman (WANDAVISION) and Lawrence Trilling, who also directs four episodes, as well as Andrew Colville (SEVERANCE, STAR TREK: DISCOVERY), who writes two episodes and serves as executive producer. Black serves as showrunner on season two. Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita executive produce on behalf of Toho Co., Ltd., the owner of the Godzilla character. Toho licensed the rights to Legendary for MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS as a natural byproduct of their long-term relationship with the film franchise. Apple TV has a multi-series deal with Legendary Entertainment, which includes a second season of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS and multiple spinoff series based on the franchise.
Catch up on the first season of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, now streaming globally on Apple TV.
