Apple TV’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters eyes Season 3 with major changes planned

Apple TV's Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 wrapped up in May 2026 and is yet to be renewed for Season 3. Since Season 2 was renewed quickly after Season 1 aired, the delay in Season 3's renewal left the show's future uncertain.

Now, according to a new update, Legendary Television, the production company behind the show, is in early talks about Season 3, and if it does get greenlit, there are going to be changes both on screen and off screen.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 3 will take a different route if it gets greenlit

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is created by Chris Black and Matt Fraction, and Black served as the showrunner on Season 2. Black and Andrew Colville, among other writers, wrote the episodes for Season 2. Executive producers of the show for Season 2 were Jen Roskind, Chris Black, Matt Shakman, Lawrence Trilling, Andrew Colville, Hiro Matsuoka, and Takemasa Arita.

However, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, if Monarch: Legacy of Monsters does get renewed for Season 3, it will have new writers and a new direction. One thing that does appear as of now is that Season 3, if it happens, will feature new Titans.

At the end of Season 2, Isabel and Kentaro used stolen Apex Cybernetics tech and neural implants to manipulate Titan X into fighting King Kong. Tim and May entered Isabel's control room but could not disable the implants. The fight ended when the team exposed Titan X to her stolen egg. That triggered her maternal instinct, which broke the mind-control override.

Kong, who is an orphan himself, identified with Titan X and stood down. Cate used her unique ability to communicate with Titan X to guide her and her baby back through the rift to Axis Mundi. Due to the extreme time-slowing effects inside the radioactive rift world, the 1950s version of Lee Shaw appeared within the rift and exchanged a final, wordless farewell with Keiko in 2017.

Six weeks later, a secret, off-the-books unit consisting of Cate, Keiko, Tim, and May was formed, and they set out to hunt down Isabel Simmons and Kentaro Randa. Lee Shaw tracked Kentaro and Isabel to Thailand, and the season ended with a cliffhanger as he discovered a live, non-dormant Rodan nesting atop a volcano; Rodan is expected to be the primary threat in Season 3.

The cast of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters includes Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett, Wyatt Russell, and Kurt Russell, who play Cate Randa, May Olowe-Hewitt, Kentaro Randa, Dr. Keiko Miura, young Bill Randa, Tim, young Lee Shaw, and older Lee Shaw, respectively.

However, if the show does get renewed for Season 3, there's no guarantee that the entire cast will stay as it is. There will most likely be changes made in both the main and recurring cast. Those changes will, however, not affect the cast of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters' prequel series that will star Wyatt Russell as Lee Shaw, with Joby Harold as showrunner.

All episodes of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Apple TV. Season 3 is yet to be officially confirmed.
