This series of giant monsters has become number one in 79 countries on Apple TV+

The line between series and movies in entertainment has ceased to exist, and the MonsterVerse is a clear example of this trend. The franchise, which began with the movie Godzilla in 2014, has grossed over $2.5 billion worldwide through a series of interconnected films.

These include Skull Island (2017), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), and Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), as well as the upcoming Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire (2024) and Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, scheduled to be released in theaters on March 26, 2027.

Godzilla remains the king of monsters

The success of the MonsterVerse has recently been driven by its series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” which premiered its second season on February 27, 2023, on Apple TV+. The series has managed to rank number one in 79 countries, according to data from FlixPatrol.

This production explores the family connection between the characters through two timelines: one set in 2015, a year after Godzilla’s return, and another in the past, where the foundations of the organization Monarch, responsible for monitoring the titans, are formed.

An interesting aspect of the series is the cast, which includes Kurt and Wyatt Russell, father and son in real life, portraying the same character, Lee Shaw, in different time periods. Also part of the cast are Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Joe Tippett, and Anders Holm. The season consists of ten episodes, with the finale scheduled for May 1.

In addition to the current series, Apple has confirmed the development of a prequel set during the Cold War, starring and produced by Wyatt Russell, which will premiere in November 2025. With a continuous expansion in both formats, the MonsterVerse is establishing itself as a benchmark at the intersection of film and television.
