Other series that have been released in Toku will also be included in Amazon Prime soon as Ultraseven X, Ultraman Nexus and Ultraman Max (the latter one in English dub)

Ultraman Cosmos and the anime series The Ultraman will also be released soon on both the television channel and Amazon Prime.

Ultraman Neos and Ultraman 80 are already available in the Toku channel through streaming by Amazon Prime. If in this wikia could do a "Watch in Crunchyroll" botton, why not do a "Watch in Toku"?

Olympusat, Inc.'s television channel TOKU announced on Wednesday that it will air the Ultraseven X live-action television series for the first time in the United States. The series will air with English subtitles on June 5-12 on weekdays at 7:00 p.m. EDT.

The channel describes the 12-episode series as following "the story of a powerful and mysterious red and silver giant whose main mission is to protect mankind from the Shadow Rulers, an evil alien species who threatens conquer the planet and destroy humanity." The live-action series premiered in 2007 as the 23rd installment in the Ultra series.

TOKU is currently airing the Ultraman Nexus live-action television series in the same timeslot.

TOKU will also air the Queen's Blade: Wandering Warrior television anime series with English subtitles.

On Monday, May 1, TOKU premieres its third Ultra Series to be broadcasted on its channel: Ultraman Neos! 

Ultraman 80 ends this Friday 28 with its last 2 episodes to make way for Ultraman Neos, with new episodes in the same schedule as its 2 predecessors, Monday through Friday at 7PM ET. 

The TOKU channel has already become the official US broadcaster of Ultraman, and will release more Ultra Series (and Gridman) throughout the year: https://emaze.com/@AWWCQLOQ 

It is not yet known if the series will be dubbed or subtitled, because the premiere has not been announced by the channel.

The TOKU channel ends the Ultraman Max series this March 24th, but instead of continuing to broadcast the following series Ultraman Mebius, TOKU premieres this Monday, March 27, the classic series Ultraman 80.

The series has the same Ultraman Max schedule, 2 new episodes from Monday to Friday at 7PM ET. It is not yet known if the series will be broadcast subtitled or will have a surprising dubbing. The premiere has not been officially announced by the channel or the company Olympusat but hopefully they can give more details about it soon.  

It is good that TOKU is bringing Ultra Series to the US public, there is the possibility of broadcast new Ultra Series simultaneously with Japan in the near future, that would be epic. You can see more about their programming and cable operators here: www.tokuhd.com

UPDATE: TOKU uploaded a video where they announce the release of Ultraman 80
