The Uma Musume: Pretty Derby franchise is set to expand its short-form content with the upcoming series Umayuru Full Gate!. Scheduled to debut in September 2026, the project will be available to viewers via the official PakaTube! YouTube channel. Animation production is being handled by AtoriE, marking a new entry in the long-running multimedia property.
This latest installment follows a history of successful spin-offs within the franchise, including the original 24-episode Umayuru series from 2022 and the more recent four-episode run of Umayuru: Pretty Gray in 2025. Like its predecessors, this new project maintains the franchise’s focus on its anthropomorphized horse-girl cast as they navigate the high-stakes world of the "Twinkle Series."
Since the debut of the original P.A. Works series in 2018 and the subsequent second season by Studio Kai, the project has grown into a massive media ecosystem spanning music, webcomics, and the highly popular smartphone game released in 2021. The Umayuru brand has consistently provided lighthearted, bite-sized content that complements the more narrative-heavy mainline television seasons, ensuring a steady stream of content for the franchise's dedicated fanbase.
