Minneapolis, MN (November 21, 2019) Mill Creek Entertainment is pleased to announce the next releases from the Ultraman superhero library! RETURN OF ULTRAMAN will arrive on Blu-ray as both a special edition SteelBook® for $49.98 and in standard packaging for $39.98 on Feb 25, 2020. ULTRAMAN ORB: THE ORIGIN SAGA, which also includes the bonus special ULTRA FIGHT ORB, will be released on February 11, 2020 for $19.98 SRP. Both releases denote the North American debuts of both properties having never been broadcast on TV or available on any home entertainment format.

RETURN OF ULTRAMAN (帰ってきたウルトラマン, Kaettekita Urutoraman) is the fourth entry in the Ultra Series, premiering in April of 1971. After years of relative peace, mankind is once again under attack by giant monsters and alien invaders. A new Ultra Hero, Ultraman Jack, arrives from Nebula M78 to combat this threat alongside the Earth defense unit known as MAT (Monster Attack Team).

RETURN OF ULTRAMAN features guest appearances from the original Ultraman and Ultraseven, presenting the very first team-up of the Ultra Heroes. The series brings back some classic foes from previous shows while also introducing dozens of new aliens and monsters, including some of the most popular Kaiju from the entire Ultra Series. The SteelBook® and standard Blu-ray releases of RETURN OF ULTRAMAN will each contain stunning high definition video for all 51 half-hour episodes with DTS-HD Master Audio of the original Japanese soundtrack with English subtitles. Digital redemption will also be available via Mill Creek Entertainment’s streaming service, movieSPREE.

ULTRAMAN ORB: THE ORIGIN SAGA (ウルトラマンオーブ THE ORIGIN SAGA, Urutoraman Ōbu THE ORIGIN SAGA) is a prequel to the 50th anniversary series ULTRAMAN ORB (now available on Blu-ray and Digital). Debuting in Japan on Amazon Prime Video in December 2016, the show reveals how Gai Kurenai became the hero Ultraman Orb, and why his friend Jugglus Juggler turned into his arch-enemy. Also included with the complete, 12-episode series is the 2017 special ULTRA FIGHT ORB (ウルトラファイトオーブ 親子の力、おかりします！, Urutorafaito Ōbu Oyako no Chikara, Okari Shimasu!), which picks up from the events of the theatrical feature film ULTRAMAN ORB: THE MOVIE – LET ME BORROW THE POWER OF BONDS! Ultraman Orb joins Ultraman Zero and Ultraseven to stop a mysterious villain who has revived an army of ghost monsters. Digital redemption on movieSPREE is also included.

The sets are now available for preorder from Amazon and Mill Creek Entertainment…
