The final episode of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters left plenty up in the air, but its biggest question involved Lee Shaw, the Army officer tangled in a two-front supernatural conspiracy. Monarch straddles two different timelines, with Wyatt Russell playing the character in the 1960s and his father, Kurt Russell, playing him in the present day. The Season 1 finale introduced plenty of wrinkles to his story, including time travel (which explains why present-day Lee appears to be much younger than he should be), but a major development at the end of the episode also seemed to close the door for the character.
Fortunately, Apple TV doesn’t plan to leave Monarch fans in suspense about Lee’s fate. Though Monarch Season 2 is still a ways off, a new teaser reveals that it’s set to premiere in February 2026 — and both Russells will be back to continue the story of Lee.
