While those of us who were already fans of the Monsterverse extended Godzilla universe continuity have been watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on AppleTV, it turns out that Amazon Prime has had a licence to stream it until March 31st.

Currently, the second season of this popular action epic is rolling out on Apple TV, but season 1 is one of the most-watched Prime Video shows on the planet at the moment. This brief stint on Prime Video will be short-lived, however, since the series will be removed from Prime Video less than 2 weeks on April 1, 2026. Don't miss your chance to binge this celebrated series before it's gone.

If you’re thinking of giving Monarch a try, and don’t have AppleTV, this may be a good opportunity.

So was The Wheel of Time, but amazon cancelled it

It’s a very different situation.

The Wheel of Time was an Amazon Original. The streamer canceled future production.

This is just one season of Monarch that AppleTV licensed to Amazon Prime. It’s more of a promotion than anything since Amazon has a larger global audience.

AppleTV has been targeting high quality science fiction television production. A spin off from Monarch has already been greenlit and is starting production in June. Apple isn’t going to leave the show without a proper finale.
