Hasbro is giving the Power Rangers franchise a major overhaul, and a big part of that is unfolding on Netflix. The reboot of the toy line is set for a 2025 launch, but until then we should get some Power Ranges content on Netflix.

Jenny Klein, known for her work on The Witcher and Jessica Jones, has taken the reins as the showrunner for the upcoming Power Rangers series on Netflix. She's teaming up with Jonathan Entwistle, who is set to oversee this new Power Rangers universe.

Power Rangers On Netflix Could Include Movies & Shows

The new Power Rangers content on Netflix is not just sticking to one formula but expanding into a series of projects that could include multiple films and shows. This strategy is somewhat reminiscent of how Marvel builds its universe, where TV shows lay the groundwork for upcoming movies​. But unlike Marvel, they're hoping to capture mature audiences and kids alike.

With such an ambitious vision, Netflix is set to become the central hub for all things Power Rangers, aiming to create a seamless and expansive universe that could attract fans old and new. This move shows Hasbro's commitment to making Power Rangers a robust and evolving entertainment powerhouse. Keep an eye on Netflix for the latest in this iconic series' evolution!
