The global premiere date and teaser trailer for the highly anticipated sci-fi drama on Apple TV+, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, has been released. The 10-episode series based on Legendary’s Monsterverse will be premiering globally on Friday, November 17, 2023 with two episodes, with one episode every Friday through January 12, 2024.
In a joint statement, the executive producing team of Matt Shakman, Tory Tunnell, and Joby Harold expressed their gratitudes towards the opportunity to tell a story in Legendary’s Monsterverse in a television series format.
“Over the last few years, we feel fortunate to have been able to work on a show that allowed us to embrace the scope and mythology of Legendary’s Monsterverse,” the executive producers said. “Through 10 hours of character-driven television, our show explores the question of who the true monsters are in a world of coexistence with Titans, while at the same time taking us on a globetrotting adventure that will hopefully keep the audience as entertained as they are emotionally engaged.”
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.
