Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 Trailer and Key Art Hits
Today at the 2026 Apple TV Press Day, the cast of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 took the stage to unveil the official trailer for the new episodes of the global hit Monsterverse series from Legendary Television.
Starring Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Joe Tippett, and Anders Holm, the 10-episode second season of will premiere globally on Friday, February 27, 2026, with the first episode, followed by one episode every Friday until May 1, 2026.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 1 tracks two siblings looking 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), both in the 1950s and half a century later, where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 will pick up with the fate of Monarch — and the world — hanging in the balance. The dramatic saga reveals buried secrets that reunite our heroes (and villains) on Kong’s Skull Island, and a new, mysterious village where a mythical Titan rises from the sea. The ripple effects of the past make waves in the present day, blurring the bonds between family, friend, and foe — all with the threat of a titan event on the horizon.
As previously announced, season two will feature Kong and Godzilla, and introduce a new Titan: the enigmatic Titan X that is now officially on the loose. Titan X isn’t just another monster; it’s a living cataclysm. When its massive bioluminescent form breaks the surface of the ocean, the world seems to hold its breath.
In Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2, Titan X stands at the center of the mystery — an ancient force emerging from the deep, its purpose uncertain, its power unmatched, its awe and terror in equal measure. New season two guest stars include Takehiro Hira, Amber Midthunder, Curtiss Cook, Cliff Curtis, Dominique Tipper, and Camilo Jiménez Varón.
Hailing from Legendary Television, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is executive produced by Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell from Safehouse Pictures, alongside Chris Black, Jen Roskind, Matt Shakman, and Lawrence Trilling, who also directs four episodes, as well as Andrew Colville, who writes two episodes and serves as executive producer.
Black serves as the showrunner on season two. Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita executive produce on behalf of Toho Co., Ltd., the owner of the Godzilla character. Toho licensed the rights for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters to Legendary as a natural byproduct of their long-term relationship with the film franchise.
Apple TV has a multiseries deal with Legendary Entertainment, which includes the second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and multiple spinoff series based on the franchise. Catch up on the first season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, streaming globally on Apple TV.

The first spinoff is a thrilling new, untitled Young Lee Shaw prequel, executive-produced by Wyatt Russell and reprising his role as Colonel Lee Shaw.
The prequel will be showrun and executive produced by Emmy Award nominee Harold. The expansion of Legendary’s entire Monsterverse franchise on Apple TV will be overseen by Harold under a newly announced overall deal with Legendary.
