The veteran action star is joined by his son, Wyatt, in Apple TV's upcoming Godzilla series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Wyatt will play a younger version of his father's character in a multiple generation-spanning kaiju showdown.

"Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters tracks two siblings following in their father's footsteps to uncover their family's connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch," reads the Apple TV+ press release. "Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. The dramatic saga — spanning three generations — reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives."

We still don't have a release date or a trailer, but Apple did provide some photos and a list of the cast and crew, so we would expect the first teaser trailer to drop sometime in the near future. Check out the first look below.

The 10-episode series picks up immediately after the events of the 2014 Godzilla film left San Francisco in ruins. The show is part of the extended Monsterverse, which will feature towering, city-destroying beasts like Godzilla and  King Kong in a television format.

Wyatt is best known for his roles in the horror film Overlord (2018) and the Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021).

Joining the Russells in the epic series are Anna Sawai, known for her role in the martial arts film Ninja Assassin (2009) and her international breakout role in the Apple Original series Pachinko (2022-present), as well as Kiersey Clemons, who appeared in Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) and Donald Glover's takedown of toxic celebrity fandoms, Swarm (2023).
