Monarch: Legacy of Monsters will expand Legendary’s Monsterverse weekly, starting this November — but what do we know about the show? Let's see if we can answer some of your questions.

What is Monarch: Legacy of Monsters about?

Spinning out of Legendary’s Godzilla reboot from 2014, the new series delves into the backstory behind the organization that has been tracking the Titans through the Monsterverse to date. Apple TV+’s official plot description of the show runs like this:

“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.”
