“Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” — the live-action series based on Legendary’s MonsterVerse — premieres this month.
If you’re a fan of the Titan (giant monster) film franchise that began with 2014’s “Godzilla” and includes 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island,” 2019’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong,” you’ll want to dive in this generation-spanning series that explores the past, present and future of Monarch.
The official description for the Apple TV+ series reads:
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.
