Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is planning a creative overhaul for the third season if it gets an official renewal from Apple TV.

The hit MonsterVerse spinoff series wrapped its second season earlier this year, which was well received by fans and critics due to its expansion of the Titan mythology and memorable set pieces involving Godzilla and Kong. However, since then, we haven't heard any news about whether it will be getting a third season.

Variety recently confirmed that Apple TV and Legendary Television are currently in talks for the renewal of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters for a third season.

However, if it gets the official renewal, it will likely undergo a major creative overhaul, as the potential next season will be helmed by a new showrunner and a new set of writers. It will also feature new Titans in the MonsterVerse.

It remains unknown whether they will retain the same cast/characters from previous seasons, since they have to hire a new showrunner first before they decide on the new direction for the hit series.

While we are waiting for the official update on what's next for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, a prequel series centering on Wyatt Russell as a young Col. Lee Shaw is currently in production.

The story will follow Shaw on a mission in 1984 as he tries to prevent the Soviets from unleashing a devastating new Titan. The cast also includes Millie Brady, Pilou Asbaek, Corey Stoll, Ralph Ineson, Nyasha Hatendi, Connie Nielsen, and Stana Katic. No release window has been set yet.

The first season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters follows two siblings looking 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, taking place in the 1950s and half a century later, where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows.

The second season picks up with the fate of Monarch, and the world, hanging in the balance. The dramatic saga reveals buried secrets that reunite our heroes (and villains) on Kong’s Skull Island, and a new, mysterious village where a mythical Titan rises from the sea. The ripple effects of the past make waves in the present day, blurring the bonds between family, friend, and foe, all with the threat of a titan event on the horizon.

The main cast includes Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Joe Tippett, and Anders Holm.

All episodes of the first two seasons are available to stream on Apple TV.
