Breaking news! The Legendary MonsterVerse is expanding! And Monarch: Legacy of Monsters will be returning for another fun season!
The Kings keep coming! After the immense success of both Monarch: Legacy of Monsters last year, and naturally the major box office phenomenon that was Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Legendary is doubling down on the King of the Monsters and the King of Kongs. But not just by renewing Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. But also collaborating with Apple TV+ to create multiple spin-off series also set within the MonsterVerse!
Per Apple and Legendary:
Apple TV+ today announced that its broadly acclaimed, global hit Monsterverse series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, from Legendary Entertainment, has been renewed for a second season. On the heels of the monstrous success of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Apple TV+ has also struck a new multi-series deal with Legendary Entertainment, which includes a second season and multiple spinoff series based on the franchise.
“Monarch: Legacy of Monsters has left an indelible imprint on the hearts, minds and imaginations of audiences around the world, led by the brilliance of Chris, Matt, Kurt, Wyatt and the incredibly gifted talented cast and creative team,” said Morgan Wandell, head of international development for Apple TV+. “We couldn’t be more excited for viewers to not only have the chance to experience even more thrills in season two, but to embark on epic, new journeys in the franchise, as we expand Legendary’s Monsterverse.”
The upcoming season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is executive produced by Chris Black, Matt Fraction, Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell from Safehouse Pictures, Matt Shakman, Andrew Colville and Jen Roskind. 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.
Personally I’m really excited to see the continuing adventures of Randa family and Lee Shaw! We were fortunate enough to do several interviews with the cast during Season 1, and this universe just keeps getting better and better!
