The MonsterVerse isn’t going anywhere on Apple TV+.
Per Deadline, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the first live-action series set in the MonsterVerse, has been renewed for a second season. Additionally, the streamer has struck a new multi-series deal with Legendary, meaning that multiple spinoff series set in the MonsterVerse are also now in development.
“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.”
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.
The upcoming season of Monarch is executive produced by showrunners and co-creators Chris Black and Matt Fraction. Other executive producers are Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell from Safehouse Pictures, and Matt Shakman, Andrew Colville and Jen Roskind.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 1 is available to stream on Apple TV+.
