Merchandise releases, a collaboration with a mobile game, and special screening events mark the franchise's activity in 2026. No new anime or manga projects have been announced.
In 2026, the SSSS.GRIDMAN franchise has been sustained through a series of merchandise releases and live events. Studio Trigger organized all-night marathon screenings of the TV series SSSS.GRIDMAN and SSSS.DYNAZENON at Cinemart Shinjuku, with each event including talk shows featuring director Akira Amemiya, producer Tomoyoshi Asou, and MC Naoki Koyama. The SSSS.GRIDMAN screening on February 28, 2026, showed all 12 episodes plus the Anime Mirai short "Denkou Choujin Gridman: Boys Invent Great Hero," while the SSSS.DYNAZENON event on March 14, 2026, included the live-action short "Gridknight Fight." Attendees received exclusive illustrated postcards and random finger puppet variants.
Merchandise has been a central focus. Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for reproduction prints from the COVERS project, featuring illustrations by Tridamono and saitom, with a pre-order window closing July 15, 2026, and shipping scheduled for October 2026. Good Smile also offered hologram acrylic stands of Rikka Takarada and Akane Shinjo, priced at 2,520 yen, releasing October 31, 2026. Furyu expanded its TENITOL brand into Gridman Universe with sportswear figures of Rikka Takarada in volleyball wear and Akane Shinjo in track and field attire, reservable until August 19, 2026, and shipping March 2027.
A large-scale collaboration between Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium and both Ultraman and SSSS.Gridman was announced during the game's 1.5th anniversary program, though specific content and timing remain undisclosed. A limited-time Bee Robo Kabutack collaboration skin was also available until June 30, 2026. The franchise's presence in 2026 has been defined by physical goods, event screenings, and cross-media partnerships rather than new narrative content.
