Apple TV is continuing to build out Legendary’s Monsterverse with a new prequel series that explores the origins of Colonel Lee Shaw. The series will follow the character in his formative years, as portrayed by Wyatt Russell in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, while the older incarnation of Shaw is played in the original show by his father, iconic film and television actor Kurt Russell.
According to Deadline, the new spinoff series will follow the story of Colonel Lee Shaw, 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.
“I could not feel more privileged to be a part of building out this wildly iconic universe,” Harold shared. “Apple and Legendary have been exemplary partners throughout this process, and we will continue to bring these Titans of cinematic history to audiences with the reverence they deserve.”
