Monarch: Legacy of Monsters will restart. Apple TV and Legendary Television are in renewal talks for a third season that would take the series in a new direction, featuring new Titans from Legendary’s Monsterverse.
The search is underway for new writers and showrunners who will take over the creative team from seasons 1 and 2 of the series, led by showrunner/executive producer Chris Black who co-created Monarch with Season 1 executive producer Matt Fraction.
The news comes six months after Season 2 ended on Apple TV on May 1.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is produced by Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell of Safehouse Pictures. Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita are producing on behalf of Toho Co., Ltd., the owner of the Godzilla character. Season 2 was also produced by Chris Black, Jen Roskind, Matt Shakman, Lawrence Trilling and Andrew Colville.
Legendary, which licensed Monsterverse rights from Toho, has a multi-series deal with Apple TV, which includes Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and its upcoming untitled spin-off centered on Young Lee Shaw, with Wyatt Russell reprising his role as Colonel Lee Shaw. The series is helmed by Harold, who is developing several other entries in the franchise alongside his producing partner Tunnell through their Safehouse Pictures banner.
In addition to Russell, the offshoot stars Millie Brady, Pilou Asbaek, Corey Stoll, Ralph Ineson, Nyasha Hatendi, Connie Nielsen and Stana Katic. Harold, Tunnell and Russell produce alongside Andy Goddard, Kyle Bradstreet, Jim Skotchdopole, Max Borenstein, Chris Black, Alex Boden and Toho’s Matsuoka and Arita. JD Dillard is director and executive producer.
