Pokémon Horizons is the first Pokémon anime series to be set in a post-Ash Ketchum world. Ash, who has been the protagonist of the Pokémon anime series for over 25 years, recently achieved his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master in the Pokémon Journeys anime series.
The Pokémon Horizons anime will premiere on BBC iPlayer and on linear TV channel CBBC in the UK. No release window for the U.S. has been shared yet, but previous Pokémon series have typically premiered at around the same time in both countries, if not a little ahead of time in the U.S., so a December release is perhaps likely for stateside fans, too.
What to Expect from the Pokémon Horizons Anime
Based on the trailers and information that has been released so far, the Pokémon Horizons anime is shaping up to be a fresh and exciting new take on the Pokémon anime series. The new protagonists, Liko and Roy, are both interesting and likable characters, and the Paldea region looks to be a beautiful and diverse setting.

Overall, the Pokémon Horizons anime looks to be a must-watch for any fan of the Pokémon franchise. With its new characters, setting, and Pokémon, the series is sure to bring something new and exciting to the table.
