Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 Episode 1 is just on the horizon, like Godzilla himself stomping towards a defenseless city. It’s been over two years since the spinoff series first crashed onto Apple TV, and now it’s time for more Titan chaos.
The first season of the MonsterVerse show explored the history of the organization dedicated to researching monsters like Godzilla and preventing future disasters like the ones seen in Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla vs. Kong, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
Taking place over two timelines, it follows siblings Cate (Anna Sawai) and Kentaro Randa (Ren Watabe) as they hunt for their missing father and discover that he’s a member of Monarch. Their adventure partnered them with Kurt Russell as Col. Lee Shaw, while Thunderbolts star Wyatt Russell plays Shaw in the 1950s sections of the show.
The second season will kick off on Skull Island following the Season 1 finale, as the gang discover new secrets about the dangerous island. If that wasn’t enough on their plate, they’ll also have to contend with a terrifying new monster that emerges from the sea, called Titan X.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 Episode 1 will start streaming on Friday, February 27 at 12 am PT/3 am ET. It will be available on Apple TV globally, with new episodes dropping weekly until the season finale on May 1.
Here’s what time it will go live in other countries:
- 8am UK
- 9am Central European Summer Time
- 10am Eastern European Summer Time
- 1.30pm India
- 5pm Tokyo
- 7pm Sydney
How many episodes are there?
There are 10 episodes in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2, the same amount that the first season had. With both Godzilla and Kong appearing in the sophomore season, let’s hope they’re not fighting it out for screen time… Regardless, they’ll have the “living cataclysm” of Titan X to contend with.
The synopsis for the season teases how much of a threat the new creature is: “When its massive bioluminescent form breaks the surface of the ocean, the world seems to hold its breath.
“In Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2, Titan X stands at the center of the mystery – an ancient force emerging from the deep, its purpose uncertain, its power unmatched, its awe and terror in equal measure.”
