Apple TV’s sci-fi show Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is gaining popularity for its unique blend of adventure, kaiju experience, and sci-fi mystery. The series follows two generations of the Russell family as they navigate different timelines.
The latest season, set in 2017, takes place immediately after the ending of season 1. This means that it unfolds between the events of Godzilla (2014) and King of the Monsters (2019). Season 2’s flashbacks are centered in 1957, while those in season 1 span from 1952 to 1959.
The MonsterVerse timeline can be confusing, but the show’s approach makes sense. The series’ earliest events take place in the 1950s, followed by Kong: Skull Island (1973), and then Netflix’s animated Skull Island (early 1990s). Godzilla and King of the Monsters take place during their respective release years.
Season 2 won’t deviate from this timeline, which is a relief for fans who want to stay in tune with the MonsterVerse. The new season premieres on Apple TV on February 27, 2026, offering more kaiju action and intrigue.
