Apple TV's Monarch: Legacy of Monsters has secured a spot in the Nielsen streaming originals chart, landing at position 10 for the week ending March 8th. The show drew 467 million minutes of viewing, a significant achievement for the streamer given its typically smaller audience compared to giants like Netflix. This marks the first time an Apple TV series has appeared on the prestigious Nielsen list since the holiday season success of Pluribus just three months prior.

Crucially, Monarch did not feature in the chart during its first season in 2023, suggesting growing audience interest in the Godzilla universe series. Apple has already greenlit a spin-off focusing on Lee Shaw's character, played by Wyatt Russell.
