Translating the big-screen terror and wonder of the “Godzilla” franchise into a TV series was no easy task, but the team behind Apple TV+’s “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” was up to the challenge. And as they put the series together, they learned collaboration across all departments would be key to nailing the drama series and convincing Apple that a monster show was a fit for their brand.
Several members of the “Monarch” team assembled to discuss their creative process and how they navigated the show’s complexities at TheWrap’s inaugural Collaborators panel on Wednesday presented by Apple TV+, including showrunner Chris Black, actress Mari Yamamoto, casting director Ronna Kress and visual effects supervisor Sean Konrad.
