This will be the second season of King of the Monsters, existing within the same world as Kong and the Monsterverse Netflix Universe. The story will continue with Dr. Michael Lore with his daughter in San Francisco, where the battle for New York has happened 5 years later. Chloe is now going to college, while dealing with her sexuality as a lesbian and with a girl that she has a crush on. Some of the story will focus on that a little bit, but not too much. Most of it will focus on Lore and his friend, Serizawa, where they will continue to search for Godzilla and his mysterious origins. Meanwhile, some of the later episodes will focus on Godzilla hunting down for more monsters that have been resting around the globe. It's not until then that Mothra, Queen of the Monsters, is pissed at Godzilla for destroying her home while defeating the MUTOS back in New York. She takes revenge against Godzilla, attacking him in the middle of Boston. But the real threat is out there, with King Ghidora planning to destroy Godzilla and wipe out the rest of humanity, including the rest of the the Titans. The epic finale will have Michael, Chloe, and Serizawa teaming up to find a way to stop Godzilla and Mothra from fighting and actually fight the real threat that's out there.
