The planned live-action Power Rangers series, which was slated for development under Disney+ and 20th Century TV, has been officially canceled. According to reports, the decision to halt the project stems from budgetary concerns rather than issues with the creative vision or scripts.
The production had high-profile talent attached, with Percy Jackson and the Olympians showrunners Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz tapped to lead the series. Hasbro was also slated to serve as a production partner on the project, which would have marked a significant new chapter for the long-running franchise.
This cancellation arrives after several years of shifting distribution for the brand. While the franchise found a home on Netflix for recent entries like Power Rangers Cosmic Fury and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always anniversary special, the future of live-action content under the Disney umbrella remains uncertain following this development.
