The Power Rangers brand has had many network TV shows since the 1990s, including a 2017 feature film. Fans praised the movie, but it didn’t make much at the box office, which ruined its chances of sequels featuring fan-favorite Tommy Oliver/Green Ranger. Hasbro Entertainment will help produce the project alongside Walt Disney and 20th Century Television. Whether this series will be more grounded like the movie or kid-friendly like the original shows in the 90s is unknown.

Power Rangers will stream exclusively on Disney+

Key Takeaways
  • Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz will showrun a new live-action Power Rangers series exclusively for Disney+.
  • The creative duo previously collaborated on Percy Jackson & The Olympians, The Old Man, and Black Sails.
  • Hasbro Entertainment will produce the upcoming series alongside Walt Disney and 20th Century Television.
