After a trademark popped up a few days ago, fans began wondering if we’d at last learned about the next Power Rangers season.
Well, wonder no more! A new Press Release in BusinessWire officially reveals Power Rangers: Ninja Steel! Furthermore, the press release confirms Saban has renewed its contract with Nickelodeon and the network will continue airing Power Rangers until at least 2018.
Of particular note, this press release also gives us a brief story outline for the new 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.
Ninja Steel’s executive producer is again fan-favorite Chip Lynn, whose efforts on Power Rangers Dino Charge were greatly welcomed by the fandom. Based on this name and description, we can assume Ninja Steel will be using footage from the 39th Super Sentai Series, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.
Looks like some exiting adventures ahead for Power Rangers fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ninja Steel news!

Additionally, Saban has renewed its contract with Nickelodeon through 2018.
Oh f***. They're still going to be Nickelodeon? I mean, I hope at least they'll stop with that 20-episodes per season thing.
Well, that's.... Unique.
I...actually kinda like that concept. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wary though. But at least they came up with an intriguing idea to say the least.
Hack and slash....the footage. Wasshoi.
I don't mind right now. So far, their take on Kyuryuger has been very good with Dino Charge. And I knew there was no way they were going to use GoBusters, even if they could have just used half the episodes and actually made a full series out of it. And ToQgers was too Japanese for use, no kid past the age of five likes trains anymore.
The concept behind the Westernization of the story is not bad either. It's like Mortal Kombat, but with Ninjas and the use of the word Steel. Just for the love of Kinji please don't make a second season half Power Rangers Ninja Super Mega Steel.
Hmmmm? A game show. I want to hate it but i think it May just may be it will work. At this time i'm 50/50. I need to know more about the Rangers.
The hole game show thing can May be work? may be.. and i'm some what happy there staying on Nickelodeon.
I'm getting sick of aliens in Power Rangers. I was hoping that the monsters in Ninja Steel would be dark spiritual monsters or ghouls. With Yokai Watch airing on Disney XD, I think kids can get into Power Rangers monsters being ghosts or ghouls.
who is their mentor and keeper of the crystal
I probably won't watch this, but WOW! I freaking love the concept of the monsters-of-the-week being game show contestants.
The rangers are forced to participate in a reality show about trying to kill them. This is an insanely great idea.
Again, wow. This is the first time I've EVER been impressed by an original Power Rangers concept.
