"Apple's Groundbreaking Move": Godzilla Makes Waves on Apple TV+ in MonsterVerse's Debut Live-Action Series

Remember when the iconic King of Monsters, Godzilla, made its earth-shaking debut back in 2014? Today, it's a totally different world. The colossal radioactive dinosaur is now making waves, not on the big screen, but on Apple TV+ in the highly anticipated MonsterVerse's debut live-action series. Yes, you heard it right, "kaiju are now heading to the small screen" in a yet-untitled show, as reported by Engadget.

Bigger Than The Big Screen

The MonsterVerse has evolved tremendously over the past decade. Legendary Pictures dared to dream big and we saw the Godzilla and King Kong return to the silver screen. However, in a groundbreaking move, the new Godzilla series has shifted the battleground from cinemas to our living rooms, promising to uncover the secretive relationship between a multinational organization, Monarch, and a host of Titans.

"Not Just the King of Monsters"

But this isn't just about Godzilla. This series is set after a colossal battle among Titans, unraveling new information that links the attacks of these monstrous beings to the elusive Monarch. For those not in the know, Monarch is the organization responsible for overseeing the research and tracking of MUTOs (massive unidentified terrestrial organisms) and has been a part of the MonsterVerse narratives dating back to Godzilla's 2014 return.

No release date or cast list has been provided yet, but what we do know is that the show is helmed by the talented Chris Black (known for Outcast, Star Trek: Enterprise) and Matt Fraction, lauded for his contribution to Marvel's Hawkeye comics in 2012. As Chris Black stated, "This upcoming Godzilla show will be the first live-action series set in the MonsterVerse."

It remains to be seen how this series will tie into the existing MonsterVerse movies, especially given the developments of last year's blockbuster, "Godzilla vs. Kong". Despite the somewhat disappointing ticket sales of 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs. Kong emerged as one of the top 10 box office draws of 2021, offering hope for the monstrous dino's move to the small screen.

Godzilla's leap from the silver screen to the TV screen is sure to shake things up. Only time will tell if the MonsterVerse's first live-action series will roar as loud on Apple TV+ as it did in the movie theaters.
