• Apple TV has been promoting Monarch: Legacy of Monsters S2
• A huge 3,000 drone show has set a new world record
• The first episode of S2 arrives on the streaming platform on Friday

Apple TV certainly hasn't held back in its promotion of season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (premiering this Friday, February 27), putting on a record-breaking drone light show in the skies of Los Angeles.

The 12-minute spectacular involved 3,000 drones, flying up to 500 feet (152 meters) in the area, and covering an area the equivalent of three American football pitches, according to details released by Apple TV.

These drones and their on-board lights, together with the occasional firework, were used to depict the giant monsters from the show: Godzilla, King Kong, and Titan X. Titan X is set to be the main antagonist of the second season of the show.
