Though a new season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is already on the way, Apple TV’s spinoff series is... creating yet another spinoff.
Wyatt Russell, who shares the role of Colonel Lee Shaw with his real-life father, Kurt Russell, is striking off on his own.
It’s a fantastic twist, but Monarch Season 1 doesn’t spend any time exploring the aftermath — and there’s a sense that its second season won’t focus on it much at all.
We don’t necessarily need to know what Shaw was up to between 1982 and 2015, but it could make for an intriguing spinoff.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is streaming on Apple TV.
