Pokémon Horizons: The Series has landed its home in the UK, with the new series set to air on BBC iPlayer.

The show ushers in a new era for the franchise, with Ash Ketchum completing his journey to Pokémon Master earlier this year.

Horizons follows two new heroes, Liko and Roy, as they explore the Pokémon world, coming into contact with an array of creatures. Along the way, they team up with the Rising Volt Tacklers, all while being pursued by an organisation that seeks Liko’s pendant.

A brief trailer for the series was shared on social media, with the iPlayer release confirmed for December: “It’s time for a new Pokémon adventure! Get ready to meet Liko and Sprigatito, as well as Roy and Fuecoco in Pokémon Horizons: The Series,” read the caption.

“We are incredibly excited to be working with prestigious partners, the BBC, to bring our latest animation Pokémon Horizons: The Series to BBC iPlayer,” said Peter Murphy, senior marketing director at The Pokémon Company International (via Eurogamer).

We know our UK-based fans have been clamouring for the series' release since it was first revealed, and we are delighted to finally share all the official release information.

“I have no doubt that Pokémon Horizons: The Series has been worth the wait, so we hope fans old and new will tune in and experience a Pokémon adventure like no other next month!”

Pokémon Horizons: The Series will stream on BBC iPlayer from December.
