Is Monsterverse the name for the 'new' Godzilla/KingKong/that tv show that I think was cancelled/etc universe?
Not sure what specific canceled show you might be thinking of…
Monsterverse is specifically used for all the movies, comics, games, animated and live-action television made by Legendary (Pictures, Comics, Games, Television etc.) using licensed Toho Godzilla and other kaiju.
The Monsterverse continuity began with Godzilla (2014), then Kong: Skull Island and continued with several more cinematic features. At this point, with 12 years of releases, it is the second longest running continuity in the 70+ years of the Godzilla franchise, with the Showa era remaining the longest.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, a partnership between Legendary Television and AppleTV, is viewed as a global success. Its second season is currently in weekly streaming release on AppleTV. It’s being very successful in attracting new fans and expanding the audience for Godzilla and other kaiju.
A second spinoff Monsterverse series focusing on Lee Shaw in a 1980s Cold War context has been greenlit by AppleTV and is starting production in June.
That said, while this community is featuring the Monsterverse continuity, we’re open to posts and discussions about all Toho, Toho licensed and related kaiju media.
Please feel welcome to post and comment about other eras and continuities.
Ah Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, that's the one. I had assumed it was cancelled as nothing came out for 2 years but good to know there's a second season. I'll have to give it a watch as I liked the first.
Glad to hear you liked it.
It’s so hard to keep track of shows when they’re only renewed after the season ends and the production timelines are so very long. That’s why it’s exciting to know that there’s a second show going into production and more in development.
