Rumors have been circling for months now that a new Power Rangers series was in development on Disney+. A couple of weeks ago, Hasbro’s own press release confirmed that Disney+, along with 20th Century TV, were in development of this new series. The final rumor involved who the writers and showrunners would be – and thanks to MovieWeb and longtime Power Rangers insider Joe Deckelmeier, we now have confirmation of who is involved.
At the premiere for the new season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Joe Deckelmeier asked both Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz – current writers and showrunners of the Percy Jackson series – if their involvement with the new Power Rangers series was true or not.
“…You are asking questions that you know I can’t answer. Let’s just say we very much hope to bring this story to life…” – Jonathan E. Steinberg
Dan Shotz was more forthcoming with his answer.
“The rumor is true. I can not tell you, but I am very, very excited for that story.” – Dan Shotz
The wait for Power Rangers news and information for the future looks to be closing out 2025 with a promising hint towards that future. Metacritic lists Percy Jackson and the Olympians with an overall meta score of 73, and overall user review of Season 1 with a 70 – both considered “Generally Favorable”.
Stay tuned for more news and information on the new Power Rangers series from Disney+.
