The second season of Apple TV’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is almost upon us, and the first teaser for the upcoming episodes reveals a new seafaring monster that makes a blue whale look like a cute, wee creature. We also see Kong being Kong, which makes sense given the season one finale and the official synopsis for season two of Monarch:
Season two will pick 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.
Get ready for drama, both personal and global in scope! The glimpse of the new Titan, which the show is cleverly calling “Titan X,” is arguably the highlight of the trailer. This creature is BIG! And the show’s marketing material describes the monster as not just, well, another monster: “It’s a living cataclysm. When its massive bioluminescent form breaks the surface of the ocean, the world seems to hold its breath.”
I appreciate the puns here, given Titan X appears to live in the depths of the ocean. The series once again stars Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell, with the real-life father/son duo playing the same character, Lee Shaw, at different points in time. It also stars Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Joe Tippett, and Anders Holm, with guest stars Takehiro Hira, Amber Midthunder, Curtiss Cook, Cliff Curtis, Dominique Tipper, and Camilo Jiménez Varón.
Apple TV’s ten-episode second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters will premiere on Friday, February 27, 2026, followed by one episode every Friday until May 1, 2026.
