Netflix has scrapped its planned Power Rangers series – but there’s still hope it could survive elsewhere.
According to Twitter userJinsakuu, and confirmed byTVLine, the live-action show won’t be going any further at Netflix, but Hasbro is said to be seeking a fresh creative direction and a new partner for the series.
Netflix’s version would have had Jenny Klein as showrunner – Klein was an executive producer on The Witcher and Daisy & the Six, as well as an executive story editor on Supernatural.
Netflix is no stranger to Power Rangers, either – the streamer released the movie Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always last year to mark Mighty Morphin’s 30th anniversary.
It’s unclear at the moment where the Power Rangers series could end up if Hasbro are successful in finding it a new home, or if the creative team would remain the same if the series does live on. It’s also currently unclear why the show was scrapped at Netflix.
