During today’s Apple TV Press Day, the cast of “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” stormed the stage to drop a brand-new trailer that confirms one thing: Season 2 is going to be absolutely massive!
The Schedule: Your Friday Night Plans are Set
Apple isn’t dropping the whole season at once—they want us to savor the destruction. Here is the rollout for the 10-episode season, which kicks off on February 27, 2026. Fans will get one episode every Friday!
What’s the Story? (Hint: Welcome to the Jungle)
If Season 1 was about the mystery of the past, Season 2 is about the chaos of the present. Our heroes—and a few villains—find themselves reuniting on the legendary Skull Island.
While the first season followed siblings Cate and Kentaro digging into their family’s shady history with Monarch, the new episodes up the ante. We’re heading to a mysterious new village where ancient secrets are finally coming to light. But let’s be real—the human drama is excellent, but we’re here for the “Big Three.”
The Titan Lineup: Godzilla, Kong, and… Titan X?
That’s right, the heavy hitters are back. Godzilla and Kong are both confirmed for Season 2, but the trailer gave us our first look at the real showstopper: Titan X.
This isn’t just another oversized creature. The showrunners are calling Titan X a “living cataclysm.” It’s an ancient force rising from the deep sea, and its debut looks like it’s going to be a total game-changer for the series. When this thing breaks the surface, even Godzilla might want to take a step back.
The All-Star Squad
The whole gang is returning, including the father-son duo Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell as Lee Shaw (across two different timelines). Joining them are: Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, and Joe Tippett. The cast is expanding with some serious talent like Amber Midthunder (Prey), Takehiro Hira, and Cliff Curtis.
The “Monsterverse” is Just Getting Started
Apple TV and Legendary are clearly in a long-term relationship. Not only are we getting Season 2, but a Young Lee Shaw prequel series is officially in the works with Wyatt Russell starring and executive producing.
Between the upcoming films—like Godzilla x Kong: Supernova in 2027—and these spinoffs, we are living in the golden age of Kaiju content.
Pro Tip: If you need a refresher on why everyone is so obsessed with the Shaw family secrets, you can binge the entire first season on Apple TV right now.
