Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 Wraps Filming — See Photo
Your favorite small-screen monster mash is one step closer to being back in your eyeballs. Filming on Season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters wrapped on Tuesday, Apple TV+ announced by sharing a BTS photo of cast members Takehiro Hira, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Anna Sawai on-set with the 'Titan bait' capsule that played a key role in the Season 1 finale. More from TVLine Ted Lasso to Recast [Spoiler] Ahead of Season 4 The Buccaneers Sets Season 2 Release Date - Get First Look at Leighton Meester's Character We'd Die for Brian Tyree Henry's Dope Thief Character, Ray - And That's Exactly What He Was Going For 'Pay no attention to the destruction in the background. That's a wrap on Monarch Season 2,' the caption reads. Given the amount of post-production that still awaits, a timetable for Season 2's release has not yet been set. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters was renewed back in April 2024, three months after the Season 1 finale dropped. Apple TV+'s deal with producer Legendary Entertainment includes not only Monarch Season 2, but multiple spinoff series based on the Monsterverse franchise. On the Season 2 casting front, one thing we know is that Amber Midthunder, whose TV credits include Roswell, New Mexico and Hulu's Predator prequel movie Prey, will fill the role of Isabel, an intelligent and powerful businesswoman. Set in the same Monsterverse as movies such as Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 1 followed two timelines. In the 'present' (2015), we followed young Cate (a survivor of Godzilla's San Francisco rampage, played by award-winning Shōgun standout Sawai), Kentaro (Watabe) and May (Clemons) as they sought out Cate and half-brother Kentaro's presumed-dead father Hiroshi, who had been involved with the mysterious Monarch agency. That journey led the trio to Colonel Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell), who back in the day used to hunt MUTOs/Titans with Hiroshi's mom, Dr. Keiko Miura. The other timeline skipped around the late 1940s/early 1950s, where a younger Lee (Wyatt 'Son of Kurt' Russell), Keiko (Mari Yamamoto) and Bill Randa (Anders Holm) founded Monarch as a well-funded scientific arm of a very curious U.S. Army. But as Monarch oversight got passed around to increasingly disenfranchised military leaders, Lee, Keiko and Bill saw their contributions and power diminish. In the 2015 timeline, Monarch itself — populated by Tim (Joe Tippett), Duvall (Elisa Lasowski) and boss lady Natalia (Mirelly Taylor) — loomed as a threat, one that was either harassing Cate & Co. or appealing to the young'uns for help. (Showrunner Chris Black broke down the timey-wimey season finale for TVLine here.) Matt Black (Severance, Star Trek: Enterprise) and Matt Fraction (whose Hawkeye comics influenced the Disney+ series of the same name) developed Monarch and serve as showrunners. Matt Shakman (WandaVision) directed the first two episodes of Season 1 and executive-produced with Black, Fraction Joby Harold, Tory Tunnell, Andrew Colville and Jen of TVLine Weirdest TV Crossovers: Always Sunny Meets Abbott, Family Guy vs. Simpsons, Nine-Nine Recruits New Girl and More ER Turns 30: See the Original County General Crew, Then and Now The Best Streaming Services in 2024: Disney+, Hulu, Max and More
