The OG OG, Godzilla, literally rises to the occasion in the full trailer for Apple TV+’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which was revealed at New York Comic-Con on Friday.

Set to premiere globally with its first two episodes on Friday, Nov. 17 (followed by weekly drops through Jan. 12), Monarch: LOM is set after the battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco in the 2014 feature Godzilla, which in turn revealed to the world that monsters (or MUTOs aka Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms) are real.

The series tracks two siblings (played by Pachinko‘s Anna Sawai and Ren Watabe) who follow in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead Cate and Kentaro into the world of monsters and ultimately down a rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw –who is played by Now You See Him, Now You Don’t‘s Kurt Russell in the present and his real-life son/Lodge 49‘s Wyatt Russell in 1950s flashbacks.

“The dramatic saga – spanning three generations – reveals buried secrets,” the official synopsis tells us, “and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.”

The Monsterverse series also stars Kiersey Clemons (Fairfax), Mari Yamamoto (Pachinko), Anders Holm (The Mindy Project), Joe Tippett (The Morning Show) and Elisa Lasowski (Versaiiles).

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters was co-developed by Chris Black and Matt Fraction, who executive-produced alongside WandaVision‘s Matt Shakman (the director of the first two episodes), Joby Harold, Tory Tunnell, Andy Goddard, Brad Van Arragon, Andrew Colville, Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita.
