POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS Announced For 2019; Will Adapt TOKUMEI SENTAI GO-BUSTERS
Following the Hasbro news, Saban Brands has now officially announced the 26th season of Power Rangers, which will be titled Power Rangers Beast Morphers and will adapt Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters!
After announcing a new partnership with Hasbro yesterday, Saban Brands have now revealed their plans for the future of the long-running Power Rangers franchise with the official announcement of the show's 26th season: Power Rangers Beast Morphers.
Beast Morphers will draw its inspiration from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, the 36th entry in the Super Sentai franchise, and will make its debut on Nickelodeon in early 2019. The series will be the first in the entire franchise to receive products from Hasbro Inc. and will also be the first Power Rangers series where the Rangers don leather suits instead of the traditional spandex.
Here's the official synopsis:
"Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called “Morph-X” with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers team. The Rangers must fight off an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin Grid itself. Featuring never-before-seen leather suits and an all-new beast-themed arsenal (including dynamic new Zords), fans should get ready for a season full of secret ops and morphinominal fun."
