Amazon Prime Video in Talks for New Power Rangers Project After Disney+ Passes
Talks reportedly cover a possible TV series or film, with no format or release plans confirmed. Disney+ had developed its own Power Rangers series for about 18 months before cancelling it.
Amazon Prime Video is reportedly in talks to develop a new Power Rangers project, after Disney+ declined to move forward with its own planned series. The talks are said to cover a potential TV series or a movie, according to comingsoon.net.
No official details about the format, production timeline or release plans have been confirmed.
The Disney+ project was developed by Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz, with 20th Television as the studio. It spent roughly 18 months in development before it was cancelled and never reached production.
Hasbro has controlled the Power Rangers brand since purchasing it from Saban Entertainment in 2018. In 2017, Lionsgate released a Power Rangers reboot that brought in approximately $142 million worldwide on a $100 million production budget. Dacre Montgomery later said the studio had envisioned a four-film arc that never materialized.
Netflix also once considered reviving the Power Rangers property before abandoning its plans.
