Summary
Legendary Entertainment laid the foundations of its so-called Monsterverse in 2014 with the big screen action adventure Godzilla directed by Gareth Edwards. Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters and Godzilla Vs Kong have expanded this fantastical world of interconnected characters and stories, which will deepen further with the release of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire in April 2024. This 10-part series provides a narrative bridge to the forthcoming sequel, set in the aftermath of the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that left San Francisco in ruins. Schoolteacher Cate (Anna Sawai) joins forces with Army officer Lee Shaw (Kurt Russell) to expose the dark secrets of the shadowy organisation known as Monarch. In flashbacks to the 1950s, the young Lee (played by Russell's actor son Wyatt) works closely with scientist Keiko (Mari Yamamoto) and explorer Bill (Anders Holm) to establish Monarch and protect humanity from hulking kaiju and the omnipresent threat of nuclear war
