Chronology
Preceded by Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel

Power Rangers Beast Morphers is the upcoming twenty-sixth season of the long-running American children's television program Power Rangers, and the first in the series to be produced by Hasbro Studios through its label Allspark Pictures. The season will be produced primarily using footage, costumes, and props from the 2012 Japanese Super Sentai series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters; making it the first time Power Rangers has gone backwards to adapt a Super Sentai series that was previously skipped over. The show is set to premiere on Nickelodeon in 2019.[2] It will be the first Power Rangers series to have toys manufactured and distributed by Hasbro and will also be the first season adapted under the re-branded Power Rangers logo introduced in 2018.[3][4] The show was originally expected to be produced by Saban Brands, but became no longer the case following Hasbro's acquisition of the Power Rangers franchise and later the company’s closure in early July 2018.[5]

Plot

Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called "Morph-X" with animal DNA to create the Beast Morphers team. These Rangers must fight off Evox, an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin' Grid itself.[2]

Production

Saban Brands announced on February 12, 2018 that it had renewed its partnership with Nickelodeon for an additional three years beyond Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel; now going until 2021.[8] In a joint statement on February 15, 2018, Saban announced that it would not renew its master toy license with Bandai going forward and that the current license would expire on April 1, 2019; ending a 25-year partnership dating back to 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.[9] The following day on February 16, 2018 at New York Toy Fair 2018, Hasbro announced that it had acquired the master toy license from Saban Brands, revealed a re-branded logo for the Power Rangers franchise and mentioned that their contract with Saban Brands included an option to negotiate the purchase of the Power Rangers franchise from Saban Brands at a later time if they chose.[3] The next day on February 17, 2018, at the New York Toy Fair, Hasbro announced that their toys would start to appear in April 2019 and that the Super Sentai series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters would be the first season adapted under the re-branded Power Rangers logo as Power Rangers Beast Morphers.[2]

On May 1, 2018, Hasbro announced that it had agreed to purchase the Power Rangers franchise from Saban Brands in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $522 million.[5] On May 25, 2018, it was revealed that Saban Brands was preparing to layoff a majority of its employees with Saban Brands expected to cease operation on July 2, 2018; though its parent company Saban Capital Group will remain open for business.[10]

Chip Lynn, who resumed executive producer duties for Power Rangers since Dino Charge, will also return for Beast Morphers.[11]
