Get ready for a seismic shift in the world of Tokusatsu! Rumors are swirling that the iconic "Super Sentai" series is set to conclude its nearly half-century-long heroic saga after the finale of "First Sentai Gojūsha." Japanese media has even hinted that a Reiwa-era "Space Sheriff Gavan" might be taking its place.
Well, the official word is out! Today (Nov 24), a brand-new Tokusatsu series project, "PROJECT R.E.D.," was officially announced, and its first explosive installment is none other than "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity" (tentative title, 超宇宙刑事ギャバン インフィニティ)! Slated to premiere in 2026, the reveal also came with its very first key visual.
Since its debut in 1975 with "Himitsu Sentai Gorenger," the "Super Sentai" series celebrates its monumental 50th anniversary this year. The currently airing 49th installment, "First Sentai Gojūsha," is set to mark a significant turning point for the franchise.
But fear not, heroes are still on the horizon! Enter "PROJECT R.E.D." The name itself is an acronym for "Records of Extraordinary Dimensions" (超次元英雄譚). And yes, R.E.D. also stands for RED, signifying a fresh new series built "around red heroes." This isn't just one show; it's a massive, interconnected cross-series project with multiple works weaving together a shared universe!
And kicking things off is "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity"! While it draws inspiration from the legendary 1982 Tokusatsu classic "Space Sheriff Gavan," this isn't a simple reboot. We're talking a completely new world, built "from the ground up"! The original Gavan, with his iconic metallic suit and cosmic sci-fi action, captivated fans worldwide. Now, in 2026, he's getting a cutting-edge reinterpretation, ready to redefine sci-fi heroics for a new generation!
But hold on, this is just the beginning! While "PROJECT R.E.D." and "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity" are the first reveals, expect a whole lot more Tokusatsu goodness to drop. So, keep those eyes peeled, fans – official announcements are sure to follow!
