Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the new MonsterVerse series on Apple TV Plus with Kurt Russell, already looks like it does Godzilla justice. The show premieres on Nov. 17.
Apple TV Plus has a surprisingly strong hit rate, from the one good season of Ted Lasso, to the promising last episode of Silo, to the extremely underrated Slow Horses, the fantastic Hijack, and the excellent Severance. But with the debut of the first trailer for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, it’s clear that Apple is finally ready to take things to the next level by doing the one thing no one has ever done: make a really good Godzilla television show.
Monarch is set in Lionsgate’s MonsterVerse, which first started with Gareth Edwards’ incredible 2014 Godzilla reboot, and continued for a mixed track record that includes the pretty good Kong: Skull Island, the absolutely awful Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and the very fun Godzilla vs.
