A Godzilla series is coming to Apple TV Plus

The Legendary Photos MonsterVerse has been one of many extra sneakily profitable cinematic universes, quietly chugging alongside from 2014’s Godzilla reboot to final yr’s neon-drenched thrill journey Godzilla vs. Kong. The thread tying all of them collectively isn’t simply the monsters — dubbed “Titans” within the film lore — however the shadowy group known as Monarch that appears interested by exploiting them. That thread will proceed in a brand new Apple TV Plus sequence set within the MonsterVerse that includes Godzilla and the Titans.

Coming from showrunner Chris Black (Star Trek: Enterprise) and comics celebrity Matt Fraction (most well-known for Hawkeye), the currently-untitled sequence doesn’t but have a date, however there’s a description of what to anticipate.

Per Apple:

Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the stunning new actuality that monsters are actual, the sequence explores one household’s journey to uncover its buried secrets and techniques and a legacy linking them to the key group referred to as Monarch.

On one hand, this does appear to be it’s doubling down on the weakest a part of the MonsterVerse up to now — its human forged. Nevertheless, if Matt Fraction’s involvement is in line with his output as of late — specifically his Adventureman sequence with Terry Dodson — it’s not all that unreasonable to invest that the intent is extra pulpy journey than turgid melodrama. And that’s probably fascinating!

It’s nearly unimaginable to get an unique concept off the bottom in at this time’s franchise-driven atmosphere, so an old-school journey story in opposition to the framework of the MonsterVerse (which took a very Jules Verne-y flip in Godzilla Vs. Kong) could possibly be numerous enjoyable.

Moreover, Apple has cash. Spend it on the enormous lizard and his buddies, please.
