Plot
Many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.

The story centers on 14-year-old Hidomi, her classmate Ide, and two otherworldly beings, "Jinyu" and "Haruhara Haruko," who are determined to unlock their hidden potential. Mixed up in this is an all-powerful force known as "ATOMSK," a gorgeous vintage car… and a certain Vespa Scooter.

Broadcast History
In the United States, the series will premiere on Adult Swim's Toonami block beginning in June 2018. In Japan, FLCL Progressive will not be broadcast on television, as both Progressive and FLCL Alternative will be released as compilation theatrical films in September.
