Wondering how the tv show *Monarch: Legacy of Monsters* fits in the timeline of the broader ***Monsterverse*** continuity that encompasses several theatrical cinematic features?
This piece by IGN is super helpful but heavy with spoilers.
TLDR (spoiler free) - the show *M:LOM* builds on and weaves in the events of first two, quite grounded, ***Monsterverse*** movies *Godzilla* (2014) and the Vietam War situated *Kong: Skull Island*. *M:LOM* is interstitial, taking place in 2015 and 2017, with season two ending about 18 months before the next 2019 movie.
The later movies are much less grounded, made by different directors and creative teams than the first two movies and the AppleTV series — the movie scheduled for a 2027 release will feature *Space Godzilla*. How Legendary Entertainment will make sense of a franchise where the films and TV shows are so tonally different and targeted to different audiences is yet to be demonstrated.

IGN provided this helpful piece that places Monarch: Legacy of Monsters within the broader Monsterverse continuity. >As a timeline refresher: The Monsterverse Godzilla movie that centered on the catastrophic G-Day event happened in 2014. Season 1 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters followed one year later in 2015 and ended with a two-year time jump to 2017. That was a result of the semi-successful rescue mission executed by older Shaw, Cate Randa (Anna Sawai), and May Olowe-Hewitt (Kiersey Clemons) into Axis Mundi, the pocket realm between Earth and Hollow Earth, to rescue a stuck-in-time Keiko. Season 2 then unfolded over a breakneck eight weeks in 2017, leaving about 18 months of open storytelling time until the Titan awakenings featured in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. There’s still a lot of social media debate out there however regarding the appearance of Rodan first in the continuity at the end M:LOM season two. Is it the same Rodan who appears later in Mexico in Godzilla: King of Monsters? Or, are there two distinct Rodan’s? Since Rodan is a classic Toho Kaiju licensed to Legendary Entertainment, it’s a major commitment towards a third season narrative either way.

⚠️ Monarch S2 finale spoilers 👇
Finished it. The Kong vs. Titan X fight is straight-up movie-level — no notes. Kurt and Wyatt Russell's Lee Shaw arc landed well.
One gripe: the mirror image ending breaks the show's own time dilation rules. Axis Mundi slows time, it doesn't create parallel selves. Cool image, shaky logic.
Hope Apple renews for Season 3. The mythology deserves it.
***Monarch: Legacy of Monsters*** landed its second season with its hallmark Titan/Kaiju, character and wild, timey-wimey science beats.
How it manages to be all at once one of the most grounded but scientifically wild offerings in not only the *Monsterverse* continuity, but also the broader history of the Toho *Godzilla* franchise, is a continuing wonder.
The show continues to rank very highly globally on AppleTV everywhere but the CANZUK countries and Ireland. If you haven’t given it a try, I strongly recommend.
