The MonsterVerse has been given new life on Netflix with the release of its latest animated series Skull Island. Brought to life by Brian Duffield and the excellent Powerhouse Animation, the series marks the return of the legendary King Kong, this time in an anime-adjacent series that brings fans back to the titular island of fantastical monsters last seen in Kong: Skull Island. As Legendary looks to continue expanding after the success of 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, however, Netflix wants to bring more fans aboard the ship to Skull Island without the need for a subscription. The first episode is now available to watch completely free on YouTube.
Leading the new MonsterVerse series is The Walking Dead: World Beyond star Nicolas Cantu as Charlie, Benjamin Bratt as Cap, Mae Whitman as Annie, Darren Barnet as Mike, Yuki Matsuzaki as Hiro, and Betty Gilpin as Irene. The rest of the cast features veteran voice actor Phil LaMarr alongside Fryda Wolff and Tania Gunadi. Executive producers include Duffield with Jacob Robinson under the Tractor Pants banner, Brad Graeber, Jen Chambers, and Thomas Tull.
Skull Island was originally announced alongside an animated Tomb Raider series with Tractor Pants also behind the production for Legendary Television. While work is still underway on that series, the MonsterVerse has plenty of exciting developments happening of late. The King of Monsters will get to shine in an upcoming Godzilla and the TItans series from Matt Shakman at Apple TV+ and a feature follow-up to Godzilla vs. Kong from Adam Wingard which recently received the official title of Gozilla x Kong: The New Empire.
Skull Island is available to stream in its entirety on Netflix. If you’re on the fence about the new Monsterverse series, check out the first episode in its entirety below.
