Toei has officially announced two new Metal Hero V-Cinema projects, featuring the return of Space Sheriffs Shaider and Sharivan! Both direct-to-DVD projects are said to act as partial sequels to the “Space Sheriff Gavan” Revival from 2013.
*Sharivan Next Generation will be released on October 10th and Mihara Riki (formerly GekiViolet) will return for the title role, echoing his performance from the Gavan revival.
*Shaider Next Generation has a release date of November 7th with Iwanaga Hiroaki (the original Kamen Rider Birth) also returning as Space Sheriff.
Both projects will be directed by tokusatsu veteran Koichi Sakamoto! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details & join in our ongoing Discussion to share your thoughts on the Sheriffs’ return!
Will it be a show? Or a game?

Crimes related to the long gone Makuu, Madoo, Fuuma are happening on planets throughout the galaxy...
I thought the new Gavan movie bombed? The team up in Go-Busters and SHTZ didn't help neither.
Assume it is a show. This might be stupid but there are some Metal Hero fans out there. Also, one has to remember (and regardless of one's own opinion on the matter). That Metal Heroes were adapted by Saban. The only Sheriff used was Shaider for VR Troopers, but he does qualify. Say this is a show, some of this might get used for the sake of the states (but this is all rambling of course).
Huzzah!
According to all the translations I can find it seems to say that a new Uchhu Keiji/Space Sheriff is coming. To me this would mean a brand new Space Sheriff character all together. Not one based on an old one like Gavan Type G. I think we're getting a brand new character but my bet is on a movie though, not a TV series.
Toei will not start a new project without sponsors.
They cannot kill or change the content of an ongoing show without orders from the sponsors.
Sponsors (and BPO) decisions have higher priority than anybody else.
Hey as long as I get some new Metal Hero stuff I'm happy.
I'm down for it. I would much prefer a show, but I guess movie is the more likely of choices.
A 4th member of the Space Sheriff family would be good to see for a change.
The fun thing about metal heroes is there are sub categories within; space sheriff, mechanical cop, hitech rescue to name a few.
But if they are bringing it back they should start with a space sherrif and then make a new Janperson/Jiban type hero and then the successor to Winspector, Solbrain and Exceedraft.
Then they wrap it up with Japan's Avengers film Metal Hero Taisen.
If they're going to bring back Metal Heroes, I wish it wasn't with the Space Sheriffs. Of all the Metal Heroes shows I've seen anything of, those three really came off as the most boring.
