Many of us grew up watching the Power Rangers TV series and if you happen to be a fan, you’re in luck!
Hasbro previously confirmed that they are rebooting the Power Rangers feature film but now a new Power Rangers TV series has been confirmed and will share the same universe with the movie!
Director Jonathan Entwistle that was confirmed to be directing the feature film reboot will reportedly direct the TV adaptation for the series too and will oversee the new shared universe franchise.
The connected story universe news came after eOne took over the Power Rangers film development from Paramount and will see Jonathan developing multiple films and TV shows for Hasbro.
“Jonathan has an incredible creative vision for this iconic and hugely successful franchise, and is hands down the right architect to join us as we reimagine the television and film worlds of this property,” eOne’s film president Nick Meyer and global television president Michael Lombardo said in a joint statement.
“Across our slate, we are looking forward to working with the most talented storytellers as we take on Hasbro’s rich fan-favourite brands and build entertainment universes around them."
“This is an unbelievable opportunity to deliver new Power Rangers to both new and existing generations of awaiting and adoring fans. We’ll bring the spirit of analog into the future, harnessing the action and storytelling that made this brand a success.”
Power Rangers fans are divided over the news with many excited to see the new projects come to live while some still hoping to see a sequel movie to the 2017’s Power Ranger movie instead of a reboot!
The movie reboot was previously reported to feature a “time travel” element which will take the Rangers back to the 1990s!
