Filming got underway last July in Queensland with Joe Tippett sharing a photo from set.
Season One:
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.
Where did we leave Monarch: Legacy of Monsters in season one?
Season One starred Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell as older and younger Lee Shaw and Anna Sawai as Cate Randa , a teacher who had an up close and personal experience with Godzilla in 2014 San Francisco.
After a series of timey wimey adventures with Godzilla and the Titans, Cate (Anna Sawai), her grandmother Dr. Keiko Miura (Mari Yamamoto) – who hasn’t aged in 56 years – and friend May (Kiersey Clemons) escape the Axis Mundi below the surface where time passes differently. They arrive on Skull Island in 2017 where they reunite with Cate’s stepbrother Kentaro (Ren Watabe), Kate and Kentaro’s middle-aged father Hiroshi (Takehiro Hira) and Tim (Joe Tippett) who are now working at the Apex Cybernetics’s Research Center not Monarch. We hear King Kong roaring in the distance.
Left behind in the Axis Mundi is the older Lee (Kurt Russell), which could have signalled the end of Lee Shaw’s story.
