Two years after the titanic battle against King Kong, Godzilla returns to serial format. The Apple TV+ platform announced it in January 2022, and the first images have finally arrived. Entitled Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, it stands as a direct sequel to 2018’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
In its press release, Apple’s platform reveals a lengthy synopsis along the lines of: “After a thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that destroys San Francisco and the shocking revelation that the monsters are real, “Monarch: Legacy of the Monsters” follows two brothers in their father’s footsteps to reveal their family’s ties to the secret organization known as Monarch.”
“Clues lead them to a world of monsters and eventually to the parallel world of army officer Lee Shaw, set in the 1950s and half a century later, where the monarch is threatened by Shaw’s knowledge. This dramatic saga – spanning three generations – reveals buried secrets and how epic and life-changing events can reverberate through our lives..”
