Apple TV+ has unveiled the title and first images for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, a new 10-episode series set in Legendary’s Monsterverse. The show, which “tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch,” features Kurt Russell and his son, Wyatt Russell, among its cast. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but it is being joined by Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, a fifth Monsterverse film that will reunite the two Titans on March 15, 2024.
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 where 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.
