There are 2 new Anomaly Series coming up later this year. July 27th will bring Myriad XM Anomaly, and October 12 will be the Umbra XM Anomaly series. These 22 series are doing things a little differently so far. First, there is no Prime/Sattelite designation. Second, the entire series happens on one day, instead of on multiple. Third, Umbra, could possibly be the first anomaly where all agents are using Prime. As, September has been given as the date and goal for Niantic to discontinue Scanner [Redacted] essentially forcing agents to adopt the upgraded scanner, or retiring.
