Last night, in the heart of Hollywood, Apple TV celebrated the highly anticipated second season of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS with a record-breaking aerial display that filled the sky with the biggest monsters from Legendary's Monsterverse.

Godzilla, Kong and the new “Titan X” were ready for their close-up as they took over Los Angeles in the Guinness World Record's tallest aerial display of a fictional character formed by drones — and, series stars Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anders Holm, Mari Yamamoto and Joe Tippett were on-hand to watch the Titans face-off!

Set to a score developed by the show's composer, Leopold Ross, the 12-minute three dimensional drone show included 3,000 drones that flew nearly 500 feet in the sky (taller than the Statue of Liberty!) with a square footage of 1000’ x 1000’, or the size of three football fields, was stationed over the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, but due to it’s monstrous size it was viewable from three miles away at any direction.

While drone shows often appear as a sky spectacle, this 12-minute production plays with the Hollywood landscape to situate Godzilla, Kong, and the newly introduced Titan X amidst the landscape to feel like they’ve truly taken over the city. The show also integrates pyrodrones in the air and on the ground acting as visual effects for key moments like Godzilla blowing his atomic breath. The activation was created with creative agency, Heads in the Sky.

The 10-episode second season of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS will premiere globally on Friday, February 27, 2026, with the first episode, followed by one episode every Friday until May 1, 2026.

Catch up on the first season of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, now streaming globally on Apple TV.
