Apple TV+ debuted a new trailer for its upcoming series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters today at New York Comic Con, and that trailer is now live for the rest of you to watch! This series actually looks like it might be good! The scale of it is epic, but unlike the recent films that have been released, this show looks like it will actually tell an interesting story with interesting characters. It’s like they finally figured out how to tell a story with the human characters.
In the series, “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.”

Witness humanity’s greatest battle for survival as we fight for our world in the face of a catastrophic new reality—the monsters of our myths and legends are real.”
