The big-screen world of Godzilla and Legendary's Monsterverse is getting the small-screen treatment.

Apple TV+ has partnered with Legendary for a new original live-action show based on the creatures and the mysterious monster-tracking organization seen in the popular films.

Hailing from Legendary Television, the show will be executive produced by Chris Black, the sci-fi veteran behind Star Trek Enterprise and Robert Kirkman series Outcast, and Matt Fraction, best known for his award-winning comic book work such as Marvel Comics' Hawkeye. The two will act as the show's co-creators, with Black as the showrunner.

Per Apple, which made the announcement Thursday, the series is "following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking new reality that monsters are real," and will explore "one family's journey to uncover its buried secrets and a legacy linking them to the secret organization known as Monarch."

First look at Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters tracks two siblings following in their father's footsteps to uncover their family's connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. The dramatic saga – spanning three generations – reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.

Monarch: Legacy of the Monsters also stars Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett, and Elisa Lasowski.

I have enjoyed Legendary's Monsterverse.

I will definitely be checking this out

 

[DonDonDonPata]

Sweet! My kids are really into the modern Godzilla movies but my favorite recent one is still Shin. Hopefully this gets a home 4K disc release

 

[Zeta Dragoon]

This having a focus on multiple generations makes me think this is going to be taking a thing or two from Half Century War which could be epic.

I really liked Godzilla 2014 specifically because of how grounded it was. Fast forward 5 years and humanities technology has somehow leaped decades and Millie Bobbie Brown is saving the world. It turned retarded really quick.

Still will never forgive 2014 for bait and switching the human main character.

Bryan Cranston was criminally underused but ATJ was fine. Stellar casting from top to bottom.

When monsters emerge, secrets follow. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters premieres November 17 on Apple TV+

I hope the Japanese will throw us a bone and have Godzilla rampage a bit in San Franshitsco.

Kurt Russell? Nice!

I do agree on humanities tech progress in the following movies being more absurd then in a freaking Command and Conquer Game. Ok, maybe not quite at Red Alert 2 chronosphere level but still. Seeing tech start to progress a bit, with hints of prototypes for stuff like Masers film by film would have have been fine.

The actual super tech could have been saved for distant sequels like a hundred or more years in the future.
