In the first season of Apple TV\u2019s \u201cMonarch: Legacy of Monsters,\u201d<\/a> the first television series set within Legendary\u2019s Monsterverse film franchise, viewers were introduced to a story in two timelines. In the present, Cate Randa, played by Anna Sawai, and her brother Kentaro (Ren Watabe) searched for her long-lost father while evading the agents of the titan-hunting organisation Monarch.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the 1950s, we met Cate and Kentaro\u2019s grandmother, one of the very agents who would found Monarch \u2014 the two timelines connected by Army liaison Lee Shaw, played by Kurt and Wyatt Russel in the present and past, respectively.<\/p>\n

The ending of the first season saw those stories collide in an unexpected way, breaking the barrier between the Hollow Earth and the surface, stranding our heroes on Skull Island in the process. Now the first trailer for season two reveals the consequences of that collision. Namely, the unleashing of a new titan, a glowing-eyed, multi-armed aquatic giant named Titan X.<\/p>\n

In the trailer, Kurt Russel and Anna Sawai confirm the source behind a series of disturbances in the titan and human worlds isn\u2019t Kong or Godzilla (both of whom briefly feature in the trailer) \u2014 \u201cit\u2019s something bigger.\u201d The official synopsis teases that \u201cits purpose uncertain, its power unmatched, its awe and terror in equal measure.\u201d<\/p>\n

This second season will continue both storylines, as the trailer also features Wyatt Russel as the younger Shaw, as well as Anders Holm as a young Bill Randa (John Goodman\u2019s conspiracy-obsessed Monarch operative in 2017\u2019s \u201cKong: Skull Island\u201d). Other returning stars from season one include Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, and Joe Tippett.<\/p>\n

Guest stars joining the second season include Takehiro Hira, Amber Midthunder, Curtiss Cook, Cliff Curtis, Dominique Tipper and Camilo Jim\u00e9nez Var\u00f3n. \u201cMonarch: Legacy of Monsters\u201d is executive produced by Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell from Safehouse Pictures, alongside Chris Black, Jen Roskind, Matt Shakman, Andrew Colville and Lawrence Trilling.
