Millie Brady & Pilou Asbaek Join Apple's MONARCH Spinoff Series

Millie Brady ("Surface", "The Last Kingdom") and Pilou Asbaek ("Foundation") have joined the cast of the new Apple TV and Legendary Monsterverse series in regular roles. The new show's lead is Wyatt Russell, who will reprise his role as a young Lee Shaw from "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters". Other character details are being kept under wraps.

The series will follow the story of Colonel Lee Shaw (Russell), an American operative who, in 1984, went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.

JD Dillard ("Devotion", "The Outsider") will direct the pilot episode, and Joby Harold serves as showrunner. Harold is developing multiple new series set within the franchise's evolving universe, featuring both new and fan-favorite Titans for Apple TV.

The new series is executive produced by Harold and Tory Tunnell for Safehouse Pictures, alongside Russell, Chris Black, Kyle Bradstreet, Alex Boden, and Dillard. Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita executive produce on behalf of Toho Co., Ltd., the owner of the Godzilla character.

Legendary's Monsterverse started with the 2014 "Godzilla" movie and is an expansive cross-platform story universe centered around humanity's battle to survive in a world facing a catastrophic new reality – the monsters of myths and legends are real. Other films in the franchise are 2017's "Kong: Skull Island", 2019's "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", 2021's "Godzilla vs. Kong", and 2024's "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire". The upcoming sequel "Godzilla x Kong: Supernova" will be released in theaters in 2027.
