The untitled Monsterverse series will be produced by Legendary Television and executive produced by co-creators Chris Black (‘Star Trek: Enterprise’, ‘Outcast’), who will also serve as showrunner, and Matt Fraction (‘Hawkeye’), alongside Safehouse Pictures’ Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell and Toho Co. Ltd. Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita will executive produce for Toho. Toho is the owner of the Godzilla character and has licensed the rights to Legendary for this series as a natural byproduct of their long-term relationship on the film franchise.
