Apple TV+ while unveiling the first teaser for ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’, shared that the highly anticipated 10-episode series will premiere globally on November 17. 

Based on Legendary’s Monsterverse, and starring Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett and Elisa Lasowski, ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ will debut with the first two episodes, followed by one episode every Friday through January 12, Apple TV+ said in a media statement last week.

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 the 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. 

Hailing from Legendary Television, the Apple Tv press release said, ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ is co-developed and executive produced by Chris Black and Matt Fraction. Matt Shakman directs the first two episodes and serves as executive producer alongside Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell from Safehouse Pictures, Andy Goddard, Brad Van Arragon and Andrew Colville. 

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 the show as a natural by-product of their long-term relationship with the film franchise.

Legendary Entertainment’s Monsterverse is an epic entertainment universe of interconnected stories that bring together popular culture’s most titanic forces of nature. 

The series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ alongside an expanding offering of sweeping, world-building dramas, including global hit series like ‘Foundation’ (based on the award-winning novels by Isaac Asimov and created by David S. Goyer) and ‘Invasion’, which is a sci-fi drama series from Academy Award-nominated and two-time Emmy Award-nominated producer Simon Kinberg and David Weil that launched its second season on August 23.

Apple TV+ offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, documentaries, and kids and family entertainment. To date, Apple Original films, documentaries and series have been honoured with 376 wins and 1,567 award nominations, including multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy ‘Ted Lasso’ and historic Oscar Best Picture winner ‘CODA’.
