Ultraman: Towards the Future, released in Japan as Ultraman Great (ウルトラマンG(グレート), Urutoraman Gurēto), is a Japanese–Australian tokusatsu science fiction television series produced as a co-production between Tsuburaya Productions and the South Australian Film Corporation. It is the 10th installment in the Ultra Series, the first series to be produced during Japan's Heisei period and the third foreign production in the franchise after Ultraman: The Adventure Begins.[2]

Despite being co-produced by an Australian studio and filmed in Australia, the series would not initially air in Australia, and instead was released direct to video and LaserDisc in Japan on September 25, 1990. The series would go on to air in Japan in 1991 (being rerun in 1995), and in the United States in 1992.[3] The success of the series in the US would inspire the creation of a follow-up production there, resulting in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero.
