Unfortunately, it is a little too early to tell if there will be a second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Given that the show has just been released and will air for the next two months, it will be some time before Apple TV Plus decides about Monarch season 2 It's going to take some time

However, content featuring Godzilla and other large monsters belonging to the Monsterverse has been successful over the years That is, of course, if it makes sense to continue the story That is, of course, if it makes sense to continue the story

For now, all we can speculate is that there is likely to be another set of episodes to check out There is no official word on the next "Monarch": the Legacy of Monsters
