Apple TV has a deep bench of acclaimed sci-fi series, and two of its best are coming back soon: the Godzilla-starring Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and space race drama For All Mankind.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns February 27
Apple TV series are typically entirely original or adapted from novels. Very few are based on already-popular IP. But Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a big exception.
Monarch is set in the Legendary ‘Monsterverse’ and features Godzilla, Kong, and more. The first season was praised by critics, however, for not just being a cheap IP play.
The sci-fi epic packs a compelling, human-centered story involving lead actors Kurt Russell and son Wyatt Russell. Monarch’s first season scored a strong 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Apple has already even greenlit a spinoff series starring Wyatt Russell.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns for season 2 on Friday, February 27.
The trailer revealed that a new ‘Titan X’ monster is coming, upping the stakes for the new season.
