Production has begun on "King of Prism -Tri-Star Act-", a brand-new theatrical film in the King of Prism franchise. The announcement was made on June 28 during the "King of Prism Super Live Prism☆Tours!" event at Keio Arena TOKYO. The film is set during "Prism.3," a competition for trios who perform the franchise's signature Prism Shows. A teaser visual and trailer were released alongside the announcement. The teaser visual, drawn by character designer Mai Matsuura, features the tagline "Those bonds will be tested now ..." and depicts Yukinojo Tachibana, Kakeru Juo-in, and Minato Takatsukasa chatting at the Edel Rose dormitory at dusk. The trailer shows Schwarz Rose leader Hitoshi Hozuki declaring he will defeat Edel Rose in the tournament, with units like TRI-UMviratuS and Over The Rainbow announcing their participation. Minato's younger brother, now known as Takanawa Getaway Prince, also appears. Masakazu Hishida returns as chief director at Tatsunoko Production, with scriptwriter Jou Aoba, character designer Mai Matsuura, CG director Yoshihiro Otobe, composer Rei Ishizuka, and sound supervisor Nobuto Kojima all returning. Avex Film Labels is distributing. The previous film, "King of Prism -Your Endless Call-," released in June 2025, became the franchise's highest-grossing film with 1.2 billion yen (about US$7.4 million) and over 600,000 viewers as of May 2026.
Shin Ichijo voice actor Junta Terashima said he is "finally, finally" getting a new film. "Riding a time machine and traveling through various space-times, we have finally arrived," he said in a statement. "I try to imagine what kind of developments await, but I'm sure it won't be as I imagine, so I'll wait excitedly for the script that will eventually arrive."
The film is part of the franchise's 10th anniversary. The first film, "KING OF PRISM by PrettyRhythm," opened in January 2016. The series began as a spin-off of the TV anime "Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live," which aired from 2013 to 2014.
The teaser trailer shows the newly formed TRI-UMviratuS from the previous film and Over The Rainbow announcing their participation in the tournament. It also includes signs of anomalies occurring in the Prism World. The trailer shows Yukinojo, Kakeru, and Minato expressing their feelings about representing SePTENTRION.
The full cast includes Junta Terashima as Shin Ichijo, Soma Saito as Yukinojo Tachibana, Taku Yashiro as Kakeru Juo-in, Masashi Igarashi as Minato Takatsukasa, and Chiaki Kobayashi as Takanawa Getaway Prince.
