The anticipated release of "Pokémon Horizons: The Series" on Netflix has been postponed to March 7 in the United States, stirring excitement among Pokémon fans eager for the series that advances the franchise beyond the familiar Ash Ketchum narrative. "Pokémon Horizons" introduces new characters Liko and Roy, as well as Captain Pikachu, set against the backdrop of the Paldea Region from the "Pokémon Scarlet and Violet" games. The release delay of nearly two weeks follows an earlier premiere in the UK, where it has been airing since December 2023. The series promises fresh adventures with a storyline revolving around Liko's Sprigatito and a pendant necklace she possesses, which attracts the attention of a mysterious group called the Explorers, while Roy carries an Ancient Poké Ball with a secret of its own. Despite the US fans' wait, the excitement for "Pokémon Horizons' " journey aboard the airship with the Rising Volt Tacklers remains undiminished.

When will "Pokémon Horizons: The Series" be available on Netflix in the United States?

The series is scheduled to premiere on Netflix in the United States on March 7.

"Pokémon Horizons: The Series" marks a significant shift in the Pokémon animated universe by moving away from Ash Ketchum, the protagonist who has been central to the series for over two decades. With Ash's story concluding in "Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series," this new series offers a fresh start in the world of Pokémon, drawing elements and inspiration from the "Pokémon Scarlet and Violet" video games. The Paldea Region, where the series is set, is the newest addition to the Pokémon world, and "Pokémon Horizons" will explore this new setting with a host of new characters and Pokémon. Whether Captain Pikachu will capture fans' hearts as much as Ash's companion did remains to be seen, but the series represents a new chapter in the beloved franchise's storied history.
