Tsuburaya Productions has announced that the new TV series "Ultraman ARC" will begin airing on TV Tokyo's six-station network starting at 9 AM on July 6. The series plans to expand its geographic and linguistic reach, with simultaneous broadcasts and streaming in six countries and regions overseas.

The new TV series "Ultraman ARC" is a consecutive special-effects drama that aims to be a bridge to a hopeful and bright future, stirring children's "power to dream." It portrays a bright, heartful, and valiant hero through the world of "Ultraman." A messenger of light from a distant galaxy lands on Earth, merges with the protagonist, Yuma, who has a rich "power of imagination," and transforms into the gigantic form of the new Ultraman hero, "Ultraman ARC," protecting the people and the future of Earth from imminent crises.

"Yuma" transforms into the new hero "Ultraman ARC" by inserting the hexahedral "Arc Cube," which holds the power of the light messenger, into the mysterious transformation item "Arc Arizer," unleashing its power.

Newcomer actor Yuki Totsuka (24) plays the protagonist "Hize Yuma." "Yuma" is a rookie researcher who has just joined the Monster Disaster Science Investigation Institute, known as "SKIP," tasked with conducting scientific investigations to prevent monster disasters. He is a beloved, energetic young man with a kind and straightforward nature, sprinting through the lead role with the motto passed down from his father, "Run! Yuma!"

The main director is Takayuki Tsujimoto, known for his involvement in the New Generation Ultraman series since "Ultraman X" and his classical, warm style filled with love for miniatures and monsters. Tsujimoto serves as the main director for the first time in this work.

Additionally, the series plans to provide simultaneous streaming with subtitles in 11 languages (English, Korean, Indonesian, Malay, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Latin, Portuguese, Hindi, Chinese, and Thai) on various platforms, including the official Ultraman YouTube channel.

The background includes the recent explosive popularity of Ultraman series works in China and the Asian region. The Asia stage greeting tour for the movie "Ultraman Blazer THE MOVIE: Monster Capital Clash," released in February 2024, was a great success, reflecting the favorable reception of simulcasts and online streaming. This work aims to create an environment where both domestic and Asian audiences can simultaneously share emotions.

Starting with "Ultra Q" in 1966, the Ultraman TV series in Japan, including "Ultraman ARC," marks the 30th work in the series, commemorating a significant milestone.

As "Ultraman Zero," the progenitor of the New Generation Ultraman, celebrates its 15th anniversary, all eyes are on the new program "Ultraman ARC," debuting in the milestone year of summer 2024.
