The upcoming “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” is set after the events of “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” which ended with a big battle that destroyed San Francisco and unveiled the existence of kaiju to the world. The show will follow two siblings trying to uncover their family’s connection to Monarch, the secret organization that has tracked the monsters for generations.
According to Apple, the show will be a “dramatic saga” spanning three generations, with the siblings going down the rabbit hole of Army office Lee Shaw who — guess what — is played by both Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell. That’s right, father and son are playing the same character. Wyatt plays Shaw in the ’50s, while Kurt plays him half a century later when Monarch is threatened by Shaw’s knowledge.
“Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” also stars Kiersey Clemons, Anna Sawai, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett, and Elisa Lasowski. The show is co-developed by Chris Black (“Severance”), and comic book writer Matt Fraction (the fantastic “Hawkeye” run that inspired the Disney+ show). The first two episodes will be directed by Matt Shakman (“Wandavision”).
