Apple TV+ has announced the renewal of "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" for a second season, marking the first live-action series within Legendary Entertainment’s MonsterVerse. Additionally, the streaming service has secured a multi-series deal with Legendary for the development of multiple spin-off series based on the franchise. The first season of "Monarch" followed two step-siblings as they uncover secrets about the government agency Monarch and the Titans like Godzilla. The upcoming season is executive produced by showrunners and co-creators Chris Black and Matt Fraction, and is expected to expand on the established MonsterVerse mythology.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the fifth film in the MonsterVerse, following the events of Godzilla vs. Kong. While previous knowledge of the franchise isn't necessary, it may enhance the viewing experience. The movie doesn't have a post-credits scene, and the possibility of a sequel depends on its box office success. The film wraps up neatly, leaving the door open for future installments.
