Wondering why there’s no new Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 episode this week? New episodes of the popular Monsterverse series have been dropping weekly since late February, with the most recent one coming out on April 30. Accordingly, some viewers may believe the lack of an episode this week could be due to a mid-season break or a schedule change.

Here are all the details on why there’s no new Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 episode this week.

Why Monarch: Legacy of Monsters won’t release a new episode on Friday

There’s no new episode this week because the finale for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 has already dropped.

Moreover, Apple TV has opted against splitting this show’s seasons into separate parts. This has emerged as a popular trend in recent years in order to build anticipation and fuel discourse mid-season. Season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ narrative wraps up within 10 episodes.

The tenth and final episode of the second installment of the Apple TV series, titled “Where We Belong,” came out in late April. In the episode, viewers witness a monumental confrontation between Kong and Titan X that poses a significant threat to the future of Skull Island. Meanwhile, Shaw undertakes a perilous expedition.

Currently, there are no new updates regarding a potential cancellation or renewal of the Apple TV show for Season 3. The possibility of a renewal largely comes down to critical reception, viewership, and the demand for another chapter.

Its cast features Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett, and Kurt Russell, among others. Which actors are set to return for a potential third installment is also yet to be confirmed.

All episodes of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Seasons 1-2 are available to stream online on Apple TV.
