Monarch S2: Prequel Puzzles & Titan Threats
26 Feb
Summary
- Monarch S2 airs Feb 27, 2026, on Apple TV+.
- Show navigates continuity between Godzilla and G:KOTM.
- Apex Cybernetics' origins teased in Season 1.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 is set to premiere on February 27, 2026, continuing its run on Apple TV+. The series explores the MonsterVerse timeline situated between the events of "Godzilla" (2014) and "Godzilla: King of the Monsters." This prequel nature requires careful narrative construction to avoid continuity conflicts with later films in the MonsterVerse.
Executive producer Tory Tunnell described weaving in Easter eggs and plot points as a "puzzle" due to timeline restrictions. While Season 1's present-day narrative was set in 2015, events later moved to 2017, placing it two years before "Godzilla: King of the Monsters." This temporal setting limits direct interactions with Godzilla and Kong, whose timelines are further along.
However, the show offers opportunities for foreshadowing. A key example from Season 1 was the renaming of Applied Experimental Technologies to Apex Cybernetics. This company later becomes central in "Godzilla vs. Kong" as the entity responsible for creating Mechagodzilla. Monarch Season 2 is expected to shed more light on Apex's ascent to power while dealing with the emergence of Titan X.
