New ‘Power Rangers’ Reboot in Development for Disney+

Exciting news for Power Rangers fans! Disney+ is gearing up for a brand-new reboot of the popular series, with showrunners Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz from Percy Jackson and the Olympians on board for the project. While details about the plot, cast, and release date are still a mystery, Steinberg confirmed the news during a recent event, expressing his excitement for the upcoming story.

Although Shotz joked about keeping plot details under wraps, it’s clear that they are eager to bring this new Power Rangers story to life. The franchise rights currently belong to Hasbro, who acquired them from Saban in 2018. However, Disney has a history with Power Rangers, having previously owned the rights in the early 2000s before Saban reclaimed the brand in 2010.

With Mighty Morphin Power Rangers debuting in 1993 and continuing through various iterations and films, this new reboot raises the question of whether it will start fresh or acknowledge the existing franchise continuity. Despite the mystery surrounding the project, fans of the series can expect a more character-focused and serialized approach based on the success of Steinberg and Shotz with Percy Jackson.

While there is no official confirmation beyond the involvement of the showrunners, the return of Power Rangers under Disney’s umbrella is a clear nod to the series’ enduring popularity. Stay tuned for more updates from Disney or Hasbro as the project unfolds. Are you excited about the new Power Rangers reboot? Share your thoughts with us!
