Following the conclusion of Energy Rangers Cosmic Fury in 2023, the morphemonal franchise that’s been round since 1993 has been on hiatus on the TV aspect of issues. It’s not like there hasn’t been a scarcity of attempting getting a brand new showcase the bottom although, as Netflix spent years working by itself Energy Rangers revival. Nonetheless, by June 2024, the streamer scrapped its plans for mentioned revival, which bummed me out, however I’m excited to listen to concerning the new Energy Rangers plans which are underway for a unique platform.
Opposite to the rumor from final December claiming that each a live-action film and animated TV present have been in growth for the franchise, The Wrap is reporting that Percy Jackson and the Olympians showrunners Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz are in negotiations to write down, produce and showrun a live-action Energy Rangers TV present. This potential sequence is being put collectively by Disney+ and twentieth Century TV. This is smart with Steinberg and Shotz’s involvement, as a Disney+ subscription is required to entry Percy Jackson, which was lately renewed for Season 3.
This report notes that Hasbro will produce the sequence, which is able to “reinvent the franchise for a complete new technology of followers whereas delighting those that already know and love the world of Energy Rangers.” This clashes with the aforementioned rumor that additionally claimed that Paramount and Skydance have been in talks to amass the IP from Hasbro, which has owned Energy Rangers since 2018. Along with Percy Jackson, Steinberg and Shotz’s shared credit embody Black Sails, See and The Outdated Man.
I’m hopeful this try to revive the Energy Rangers franchise finally ends up occurring. Again in 2017, the film Energy Rangers, which reboot the unique Mighty Morphin’ characters, didn’t make a lot of a splash critically or commercially, leading to plans for a number of sequels being scrapped. However at the least then, Energy Rangers nonetheless had a presence on TV, with Energy Rangers Ninja Metal airing on Nickelodeon.
Beginning in 2021, Energy Rangers Dino Fury and the follow-up Cosmic Fury turned solely streamable with a Netflix subscription. So it made all of the sense on this planet for a brand new sequence to be arrange there. That is additionally taking into consideration Netflix had been the streaming residence to the older Energy Rangers exhibits for some time.
The Finish of the F***ing World’s Jonathan Entwistle’s was tapped to supervise Energy Rangers’ new shared universe in 2020. Just a few years later, The Witcher’s Jenny Klein was chosen to showrun the sequence. There was additionally a time when Entwistle in talks to direct a Energy Rangers film that will have adopted its heroes time touring to the Nineties, however nothing ever got here of that venture.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that if Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz’s Energy Rangers sequence strikes ahead at Disney+, it could be a homecoming of kinds. That’s as a result of Disney owned the franchise from 2002 to 2010. We right here at CinemaBlend will let if the Mouse Home formally declares it’s getting again into the Energy Rangers enterprise.
