Wyatt Russell’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters character, Lee Shaw, is getting his own spinoff. Russell will star in and executive produce the untitled spinoff, which, according to Apple TV, will follow “the story of Colonel Lee Shaw, an American operative who in 1984 went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.”
Emmy nominee Joby Harold created the series and will serve as showrunner. “I could not feel more privileged to be a part of building out this wildly iconic universe,” stated Harold. “Apple and Legendary have been exemplary partners throughout this process, and we will continue to bring these Titans of cinematic history to audiences with the reverence they deserve.”
Additional executive producers include Tory Tunnell, Chris Black, Kyle Bradstreet, Alex Boden, Max Borenstein, and Andy Goddard. Toho Co., Ltd.’s Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa are also involved as executive producers. Kei Banno, Brian Rogers, and Kenji Okuhira serve as producers.
“Viewers around the world haven’t been able to get enough of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters since its global debut, and we cannot wait to unleash the electrifying new stories that Joby and the entire cast and creative team have been working on,” said Morgan Wandell, head of international development for Apple TV. “With Joby at the helm, and alongside our terrific partners at Legendary, this new spinoff will kick off an epic Monsterverse expansion that brings audiences even closer to their favorite Titans along with fantastic character-driven storytelling.”
Season two of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters will premiere on February 27, 2026. Apple TV hasn’t announced a target date for the spinoff’s premiere.
