Godzilla Series on Apple Adds Anna Sawai and Kiersey Clemons

In this spinoff from Apple and Legendary Television, bring on the TITANS. The ensemble for the series will be led by the stars of The Flash and Pachinko, as well as Ren Watabe and Joe Tippett.

The show is set to follow a family's journey to uncover its buried secrets and a legacy linking them to the secret organization known as Monarch, in the wake of the battle between San Francisco and the monsters that descended on it. We hope a series will allow for more development in the one-dimensional characters in the franchise. O'Shea Jackson Jr.'s Jackson Barnes, head of the G-Team in Godzilla: King of the Monster, are up to, though we do wonder what previously established characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi stand out. Chris Black and Matt Fraction will be executive producers of the project. The first two episodes of the series will be directed by MattShakman.

There are character descriptions in the report.

Watabe (“461 Days of Bento”) will play Kentaro, described as an intelligent, creative and curious young man who has yet to find his own path. He will embark on a quest to learn more about his revered yet mysterious father and discover his own talents in the process.

Clemons (“Hearts Beat Loud,” “The Young Wife”) stars as May, an American ex-pat with a roguish exterior that she uses to protect herself as well as others. Whether it be deciphering a code or finding the loophole, she is always three steps ahead of everyone around her.

Tippett (“Mare of Easttown,” “The Morning Show,” “Rise”) stars as Tim, an office drone who dreams of secret agent adventure. His overconfidence gets him in trouble in the field, but he is determined not to fail his organization.

Finally, Lasowski (“Versailles”) will appear as Duvall, an expert operative with unwavering confidence in herself and her skills. She also possesses a wry sense of humor, which she uses to guide her less field-oriented colleague.

Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita are executive producers. There is no word on when the series will arrive on Apple, but with this casting announcement it seems production is moving forward.
