Godzilla and co. are stomping toward a November series debut.
Apple TV+ has released the first teaser for the 10-episode MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, which will have its global premiere Friday, November 17 with two episodes, followed by a new one every Friday through January 12. The Legendary Entertainment series that continues the saga seen in the big-screen Monsterverse movies was co-developed by Chris Black (SEVERANCE) and Matt Fraction (HAWKEYE), with the first pair of installments directed by Matt Shakman (WANDAVISION). Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett and Elisa Lasowski star; the synopsis: “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.”
