The next season of the Power Rangers franchise has been confirmed to be titled Power Rangers Ninja Steel, set to premiere in 2017. More details inside.
However this isn’t the next bit of Power Rangers goodness set to come out way; as Power Rangers Dino Super Charge is set to premiere on 30 January with 10 rangers on the team.
Here’s what Nickelodeon has to say about the series:
Saban’s Power Rangers Ninja Steel starts deep in space, where Zircon is the reigning champion of the most popular intergalactic game show in the universe, and monsters battle to prove who is the mightiest warrior. Zircon is determined to become invincible by controlling the mythical Spirit Crystal, which contains six supernatural Ninja Power Throwing Stars.
The only thing standing in his way is a new team of heroic teenage Power Rangers who possess the Spirit Crystal. The evil Zircon sends his warrior contestants down to Earth to steal the Crystal, where each epic battle against the Rangers is broadcast throughout the universe. Together, the Rangers must master their arsenal of Throwing Stars, Zords and Megazords, each made of legendary ninja steel, in order to stop this evil threat and save our planet from destruction.
Power Rangers Dino Charge is the current (22nd season) of the franchise, premiering on February last year, based on Toei’s Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger series.
In Japan, Toei is currently running the 39th Super Sentai series which is also ninja-themed; Shuriken Sentai Ninniger.
In the mean time, a Power Rangers reboot is also in progress, set to hit the theatres 17 January 2017.
