WorldSaver (2022 TV series)

Shining Knight WorldSaver (Japanese: シャイニングナイトワールドセーバー, Hepburn: Shainingunaitowārudosēbā), also known in English as simply WorldSaver, is a Japanese/American tokusatsu television series produced by Toei in association with NFStudios for the Nickelodeon Family channel. The series premiered on April 5th, 2022 and ended after 52 episodes in March 2023.

Two versions of the series would air: The "edited version", which will air dubbed on Nickelodeon Family (as a part of NFGo!) in the US and in Japanese on TV Akihabara in Japan during its NF-themed block (as the station's first non-animated content), and the "uncut version", which will broadcast with subtitles on AuraNightfall in the US and stream exclusively on Netflix in Japan. Flare+ will simulcast the series worldwide, except Japan.
