iHeartRadioNetflix is developing a Power Rangers universe of movies and series
Netflix is developing a Power Rangers universe of interconnected films and series.
eOne’s Michael Lombardo teased that an update may be revealed soon, saying, “Since we set up Power Rangers with Jonathan (Entwistle), we pitched really a whole-world approach. It’s not just one show, it is shows followed by films, and some kids’ programming. We have found a great writing partner for him and they are off. Knock on wood, Netflix is excited, we’re excited, and we hope to have some news soon.”
Netflix also recently picked up the rights to the second season of Power Rangers Dino Fury, the current incarnation of the long-running franchise. However, the new interconnected Power Rangers universe will be separate from all of the films and TV shows that preceded it.
