If streaming services have one problem, it is that many of them have too many original films or series of questionable quality. That’s why Apple TV+ has been betting on few original productions, but always aiming for them to be of the best quality. One of them is this series that is number 1 in the US.
‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ is, according to FlixPatrol, the most-streamed series on the platform in the US. The show is part of the “MonsterVerse,” and follows the events of the film “Godzilla” (2014). Overall, is the second series in the franchise, as well as the sixth installment.
The series follows members of the Monarch organization, as well as the Randa family in 2015. There are also flashbacks to the 1950s, when younger Lee Shaw, Keiko, and Bill Randa founded Monarch. The first season has 10 episodes and, as it is a success critically and with audiences, many people wonder if it will have a second season.
Kurt Russell weighs in on the possibility of a Season 2 of ‘Monarch’
Kurt Russell, who plays the older version of Lee Shaw, talked about the possibility of a continuation for the series with The Wrap. In an interview with the outlet, the actor said that he doesn’t know whether a second season will be greenlit, but “We’ll talk about it if they want to talk about it.”
He also expressed satisfaction with the last scene of the series: “But the thing that’s great is that it just got to a place where the last shot was… That’s as good as it gets in terms of last image impact.”
The rest of the cast also includes Wyatt Russell, Kurt’s son, who plays the younger version of Lee. Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett and Elisa Lasowski complete the line up.
The series boasts an approval rating of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics’ consensus stating that the Russell duo’s performance was one of the best aspects of the show, as well as the human element of the story.
