With the success of Monarch and Godzilla x Kong, Monster continues to expand with new series and seasons.
In the fascinating world of television and film, certain news have the power to send shock waves through fans: Apple TV+ has announced a significant expansion of the “Monsterverse” in collaboration with Legendary Entertainment, which includes the second season of The King: Legacy of Monsters and the creation of a new spinoff series. This announcement promises more exciting content but also cements the alliance between these two entertainment powerhouses.
After the release of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the series left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of the global audience. Apple TV+’s head of global development, Morgan Wandel, said in a statement that the brilliance of Chris, Matt, Curt, Wyatt and the talented creative team was key to this success. Anticipation for the second season is high, but the real excitement will come when future spinoff projects are announced, promising to take fans on new journeys through the Monarch universe.
A family legacy and horror saga
Monarch Story: Legacy of Monsters follows two brothers who discover their connection to the mysterious Monarch organization by following in their father’s footsteps. Through clues that immerse them in a world of monsters, they discover buried secrets that change their view of the world and their family. Spanning three generations, the series shows how major traumatic events can have lasting effects on our lives.
The upcoming season of Empire: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV+ is executive produced by Chris Black, Matt Fraction and other industry luminaries, with new stories sure to expand the rich tapestry of the “Monsterverse.” Additionally, a long-standing relationship with Toho Company Limited, the owners of the Godzilla character, ensures that the legacy of this universe continues to flourish under Legendary’s expert management.
What awaits us in this new expansion of the Monsterverse?
With new episodes on the way, fans have the perfect opportunity to catch up on the first season, now available globally on Apple TV+. With each new reveal and season added to the “Monsterverse,” viewers can expect more fun, more amazing adventures and, of course, more monsters.
This announcement not only strengthens Apple TV+’s content offering, but also promises to take fans to new uncharted territories, mysteries and iconic giants. With a strong foundation and a bright future, “Monsterverse” is ready to take the world of entertainment even further.
Kaijus that can spin
In the vast and exciting universe of Kaijus, many familiar monsters are emerging as good candidates to star in their own series or movies in the “Monsterverse”. One of the most famous is Mothra, the giant divine moth that has been both protector and destroyer throughout its long cinematic history. Mothra not only has a stunning visual design, but also a mythological background that can be explored in depth, providing a more mystical and magical approach to the monster universe.
Another candidate is Rodan, a giant pterosaur whose flight could destroy cities with a powerful gust of wind. The Rodan-centered series explores his volcanic origin and entanglements with other kaiju, adding natural drama to his naturally terrifying character.
Finally, we can’t forget Ghidorah, the three-headed dragon king with the ability to control the weather. Ghidorah offers the perfect contrast and his story can be combined with the origin of the Monsterverse, which offers a show of destruction on an unprecedented scale. These monsters promise not only more action but also exploration of new emotional and cultural aspects in rich monster stories.
