November 17 will see the Apple TV+ premiere launch first two Matt Shankman-directed episodes of Godzilla spin-off series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. The ten-episode drama stars Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett and Elisa Lasowski, and now gets an official trailer lend some inviting imagery into the opulent tale as inspired by Legendary’s Monsterverse which segues by next year into the hotly-anticipated Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
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.
