A live-action Godzilla TV series is in the works at Apple TV+, helmed by Hawkeye author Matt Fraction and Chris Black, a longtime veteran on Star Trek: Enterprise and Robert Kirkman's Outcast.
The new series is set in the current Legendary franchise, after the events of 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong. It will follow a new family with a secret connection to Monarch, a shadowy organization working behind the scenes throughout Legendary's Godzilla trilogy.
"Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking new reality that monsters are real, the series explores one family's journey to uncover its buried secrets and a legacy linking them to the secret organization known as Monarch," the synopsis reads.
Chris Black will serve as showrunner, and both he and Fraction will serve as executive producers, with production being handled by Legendary Television. Toho's Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita will also executive produce, representing the owners of the Godzilla brand.
No title or release date has been confirmed, so consider this one firmly in the early stages of development. It follows in the footsteps of 2014's Godzilla, 2019's King of Monsters, and 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong, which brought the kaiju legends to a head against each other and eventually Mechagodzilla. It'll be joining the fray alongside an animated Kong: Skull Island series set to debut on Netflix.
Meanwhile, Godzilla has found some success as an anime series on Netflix.
Joseph Knoop is a writer/producer for IGN, and Mecha Godzilla was just misunderstood.
