Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2: Anna Sawai Teases Major Deaths and Returns
Primetime Emmy winner Anna Sawai, who plays schoolteacher Cate Randa in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, has dropped hints about dramatic twists in the upcoming Season 2. The Apple TV+ series, part of Legendary’s Monsterverse and inspired by Toho’s Godzilla, is set to take viewers on an eventful journey filled with unexpected losses and surprising returns.
A Glimpse into Season 2’s Shocking Twists
Speaking in a press room after winning the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for Shōgun, Anna Sawai offered an intriguing preview of what’s to come. “I don’t know if I’m allowed to tease anything at this point, but I can say we go on a huge journey,” Sawai revealed. “We’ll go in different directions—we lose some people, we find some people… I think that’s kind of it. But it’s very exciting.”
Her cryptic comment suggests that Season 2 will see both the death of key characters and unexpected returns, promising fans an emotional rollercoaster.
What Fans Might Expect
Sawai’s teaser hints at significant character shifts that could reshape the storyline. In Season 1, notable characters such as Wyatt and Kurt Russell’s Lee Shaw, as well as Bruce Baek’s Du-Ho, met their untimely ends. The upcoming season is poised to build on these dramatic events, leaving fans wondering which familiar faces might reappear and which new directions the narrative will take.
