Godzilla will return in an upcoming Apple TV+ series from Legendary Television, we’ve learned tonight (via Deadline), a small screen expansion on the “MonsterVerse“!

The series will feature Godzilla and various other Titans!

Here’s the synopsis we’ve been provided with: “Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking new reality that monsters are real, the untitled series explores one family’s journey to uncover its buried secrets and a legacy linking them to the secret organization known as Monarch.”

The untitled small screen project is created by Chris Black and Matt Fraction, with Black showrunning. The project is being produced by Legendary Television and Toho Co. Ltd.

While I’m looking forward to the Shinimatic Universe, this will tide me over.

Though I can’t really imagine what a budget for a live action Godzilla show would entitle.

That’s what I would assume.

But even if this takes place right after "King of the Monsters" as that implies... that was set 5 years after Godzilla (2014). So I'm not sure how it's a "shocking new reality" when it'd have already been 5 years since Godzilla and MUTOs were raging through cities.

Super excited for this. I wonder if the family will be the two Asian sisters that had a connection to mothra that we barely got to see in king of monsters.

It would appear so if they are doing a series.

I’m going to assume the reason they are setting this after the 2014 movie is that they have plans for more post GvK movies and don’t want this to interfere with that.

Reading more of the actual articles from other outlets they expanded on this one and it says this takes place after the 2014 film and not KOTM.

Ah. Well that's a little limiting, isn't it? I think they said there was no giant monster sightings in between movies.

Here is an article that gives a bit more detail.

Yeah. I am not normally a fan of prequel material since it automatically limits the tension since you know who lives or dies etc. I’m assuming they are doing prequel stuff because they have movie plans for post GvK and don’t want to mess that up.

If they can't do this without making yet another stupid streaming service, hard pass. Just put it ****in Hulu, it's not hard you money-grubbing punks.

AppleTV+ has existed for years and even has award winning shows. Never fails to amaze me how out of touch you people are.

[Allio]

While a tv show means more time to actually develop the story and human:Kaiju relationship, I do worry about about how the human cast intergratws with Godzilla. Godzilla in the films was a third party in the films that when he was on screen he often was a separate entity, one if the reasons why In GVK team Godzilla felt pointless and tacked on.


At least with the three Godzilla shows we did have you at least know that there was some connection between humans and Godzilla, even when Godzilla does fight it never felt like it an entire separate thing. In Hanabarbera and “The Series” Godzilla was allied with humans while Singular point was a lead up to the confrontation between humans and Godzilla himself.

Is singular point getting a second season? I haven't heard anything, if we don't get one I'll just assume the Godzilla Anime movie trilogy is the canon sequel.

I guess? Never heard of it.

Name one award winning AppleTV original show that people have actually heard of.

[Cure]

The Morning Show, Ted Lasso. Although I don't really see the point in playing this game with you because it'll just become "never heard of them, I win!"

I wouldn't say 'I win' but I have never heard of those shows. Not even in passing.

Like I never had HBO and never seen The Sopranos or Game of Thrones, but I have heard of them.

[ProphetofGanja]

Fvck yeah! Hell yeah, score for the MontserVerse. Only if it's good though and whatever the hell happened to the in-canon Skull Island anime they said was in development? It was supposed to have come out last year...

Honestly? I'd guess not. I also wish we'd seen more of them, they're a great piece of Toho lore

I love the new (current) Godzilla stuff. Love it. I'm all-in for this.

Until it's woke $#!(, then I won't give it a dime.

I’ll let you know when Destroyah is used to represent LBGT.

God those cgi trilogy movies on Netflix were just bad and more sadly boring.
