While I’ve covered several projects that were created during the franchise’s long hiatus, here, I’m going to cover some of the creatures from the miscellaneous other projects that were created during this time. I think referring to this period of Ultra history as it’s own Wilderness Years is incredibly fitting.
FILM ULTRAMAN KING SERIES
The Ultra Series experienced it’s own period like this similar to Doctor Who‘s, lasting from the end of Ultraman 80 up until the airing of Ultraman Tiga. The Doctor Who fandom named this sixteen year long period as the show’s “Wilderness Years” a fitting name for this odd period of limbo.
It wasn’t on the air, but there’d be things such as novels and audio dramas that kept the show alive for the hardcore fans. However, after the show’s cancellation in 1989, and before it’s revival in 2005, there was a period of uncertainty for the fans regarding the show’s future. I’m of course, talking about Doctor Who, the BBC’s long running show about the heroic time traveler from Gallifrey that is a beloved piece of sci-fi programming the world over.
The series lasted through multiple iterations, before finally being cancelled and after 16 years of various rough starts and failed foreign reboots, finally managed to return to the airwaves. The story should be familiar to aficionados of foreign sci-fi TV: A show starting in the 1960’s about a friendly alien who comes to Earth to protect the planet from various invading extraterrestrial forces.
