Gavan Infinity concludes as first installment of Project R.E.D. series

The tokusatsu series "Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity," the first installment of Toei's new "PROJECT R.E.D." initiative, concluded its broadcast on July 19, 2026. Notably, the series aired for only six months, a departure from the traditional year-long format used by the long-running Super Sentai series.

While the series resolved its immediate plot points, viewers noted an unresolved atmosphere that may serve as a narrative hook for the subsequent series, "Omega Horn," which premiered on July 26. This approach of maintaining story continuity between different titles marks a shift from the Super Sentai franchise, where individual series typically remained self-contained.

Industry analysts are examining the business implications of this shortened broadcast cycle. Given that Bandai Namco Holdings handles toy and merchandise sales, the decision to end a major hero series mid-year presents potential risks to established sales strategies and the successor IP's commercial performance.
