    In season one, two siblings look to uncover their family's connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch.

    Season two picks up with the fate of Monarch — and the world — hanging in the balance. Buried secrets are revealed that reunite our heroes (and villains) on Kong's Skull Island, and a new, mysterious village where a mythical Titan rises from the sea. The ripple effects of the past make waves in the present day, blurring the bonds between family, friend and foe — all with the threat of a Titan event on the horizon.
