The Power Rangers, our teenagers with attitude and multicolored superheroes seemed to be in a coma clinching to life support after 30 years.
The series as we know it ended in 2023 with Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury following the anniversary special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always. News on Jonathan Entwistle and Jenny Klein's young adult Power Rangers reboot was alarmingly silent until TV Line revealed that the series will no longer be moving on Netflix with murmurings of Hasbro reworking the series with a new partner.
Not to add to the despairing news, an announcement was made that Hasbro would auction every prop and costume from the entire series through Horizon Auctions at SDCC.
All that remains are the titles from comic book publisher Boom! Studios in the Darkest Hour run, the Across The Morphin Grid Anthology, and Power Rangers Infinity.
Is Power Rangers Dead?
No, Power Rangers is not dead, but it is on the verge of a relaunch. There will be new content and merchandise coming in the near future, beginning with Boom! Studios' Power Rangers Prime in November, according to Bleeding Cool.
Under the merchandise side, there will be new toys courtesy of Playmates through their licensing deal with Hasbro, launching in late 2025.
As mentioned earlier, there will be a new Power Rangers despite the Netflix cancelation. It will simply be another reboot with a different platform. Whether Jonathan Entwistle or Jenny Klein would be involved remains to be soon as there has been no official word regarding their involvement.
We may get new information on the reboot closer to the end of the year as Hasbro Entertainment President Olivier Dumont hopes to provide updates on their 35 projects currently in development around that time.
Until the next reboot releases fans can enjoy every season from MMPR to Dino Charge on Power Rangers' official YouTube account. Ninja Steel, Dino Fury, Cosmic Fury, and Once & Always are on Netflix, while Beast Morphers is on Netflix only in select regions, and can be purchased on Amazon.
