After 30 long Morphin-less years, the original cast of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will come together in a one-off Netflix special to prove that “Once a Ranger, always a Ranger.”
Premiering on April 19, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always will reunite some of the franchise’s most beloved Rangers, including original stars Walter E. Jones (Zack, Black Ranger), David Yost (Billy, Blue Ranger), and Catherine Sutherland (Kat, Pink Ranger).
Netflix confirmed the exciting news in a Twitter post, which featured a handful of images from the upcoming special.
Also joining the returning cast is Steve Cardenas (Rocky, Red Ranger), Karan Ashley (Aisha, Yellow Ranger), and Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam, Black Ranger).
What can we expect in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always special?
As described by the team behind the special, the new adventure sees the Rangers come “face to face with a familiar threat from the past. In the midst of a global crisis, they are called on once again to be the heroes the world needs.”
The original series premiered on Fox Kids in 1993 and spawned three movies, including the big-budget 2017 reboot starring Dacre Montgomery and Elizabeth Banks, and various successor TV series.
The official Power Rangers Twitter account shared a behind-the-scenes video of the former teenage superheroes reuniting on set, reminiscing on the past and performing stunts while wearing their respective coloured morph suits.
In the video, Catherine Sutherland and Aussie Power Ranger said, “It’s been very nostalgic.”
“I think the audience is going to be excited to see a bunch of us retro rangers come back,” Adam Pak added.
Rounding out the BTS video was Karan Ashley, who said, “I think this is the best way we can celebrate 30 years.”
While unconfirmed, the series will likely play tribute to Thuy Trang, who played Trini Kwan, the first Yellow Ranger in the original cast who died at the age of 28 in a car accident in 2001.
More recently, Jason David Frank, who played the Green Power Ranger, Tommy Oliver, passed away in November 2022.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always premieres on April 19 on Netflix.
