After being first aired in 1966, Ultra Q, the tokusatsu series that spawned the Ultraman franchise will make its return with Neo Ultra Q. It will be a 12-episode "second season" which will be aired next year.
In addition, the second and third Ultra series, Ultraman and UltraSeven, will have HD remastered editions that will run on WOWOW this August and winter, respectively. It will be a part of Tsuburaya Productions x WOWOW's Three Great Ultra Projects.
The 1966 science-fiction series Ultra Q was the brainchild of Tsuburaya Productions founder Eiji Tsuburaya, a special-effects director on the first Godzilla film and other classics. Tsuburaya has been called the "Father of Japanese Cinema Special Effects" and the "God of Special Effects." As Tsuburaya Productions' first in-house creation, Ultra Q featured 28 largely standalone episodes in the spirit of The Twilight Zone from America and other titles.
