'Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters' season two begins production in Queensland

Production has commenced on the second season of Legendary Entertainment’s Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters in Queensland, Australia. 

Secured by Screen Queensland through the Queensland Government’s Production Attraction Strategy, the series will generate more than $115 million for the state economy, making it the largest-ever series to be filmed in Queensland. 

This follows a recent slate of feature films made in Queensland including Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, Godzilla vs. Kong and Kong: Skull Island.

In a statement, minister for the arts Leeanne Enoch said: “Season two of Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters will provide jobs for around 1,000 local cast and crew. It’s a big boost for small businesses who will help deliver the production—everything from accommodation, medical services and catering to security, transport and wardrobe supplies."

The upcoming season of Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters is executive produced by Chris Black, along with Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell from Safehouse Pictures. Matt Shakman, Andy Colville, and Jen Roskind also serve as executive producers. Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita executive produce on behalf of Toho Co., Ltd., the owner of the Godzilla character. Toho licensed the rights to Legendary for Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters as a natural result of their long-term relationship with the film franchise. 

The series stars Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett, and Elisa Lasowski.
