The Monsterverse television series, starring Kurt and Wyatt Russell will be back for more…
Apple TV+ have announced that Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which takes place in Legendary Entertainment‘s Monsterverse, is recommissioned.
On the heels of “monstrous success”, the streamer has confirmed a deal for the second run of Monarch. It also mentions multiple spin-off series based on the franchise.
Here’s the premise for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season One:
Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco, and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps 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), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later when Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. The dramatic saga — spanning three generations — reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.
The show also stars Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett and Elisa Lasowski.
Season Two of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is executive produced by showrunners and co-creators Chris Black and Matt Fraction. Other executive producers are Safehouse Pictures’ Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell, Matt Shakman, Andrew Colville and Jen Roskind. Plus, Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita on behalf of Toho Co., Ltd., the owners of the Godzilla.
The first season streams globally on Apple TV+.
