Netflix halts Power Rangers, but it's not over yet - report

Netflix has officially halted its development of the live-action Power Rangers series after more than two years in the making. According to reports initially shared on social media and later verified, the show is being reimagined by Hasbro who is now seeking a new creative direction and partner for the project. This pause comes despite Hasbro's previous plans in 2020 for an interconnected Power Rangers universe led by Jonathan Entwistle and the involvement of story editor Jenny Klein. Meanwhile, Netflix and Power Rangers fans can still look back at recent content like the one-hour special, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Once and Always, which received mixed reviews, notably a 6/10 rating from IGN. Additionally, there are upcoming projects like the spinoff game Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind and Hasbro's Lightning Collection action figures to keep Power Rangers enthusiasts engaged.

Netflix canceled the Power Rangers live-action series as Hasbro decided to take the franchise in a new creative direction and is now seeking a new partner for the project.

The Power Rangers franchise has been a beloved staple in pop culture since its debut in the 1990s. Originating as a television series that combined action, adventure, and giant robot battles, it has spawned numerous TV shows, movies, and merchandise. The most recent reboot attempt aimed to create a shared universe for the franchise, but it seems Hasbro is now reassessing how best to modernize and expand the Power Rangers legacy.
