The Illuminerdi has recently got word that Hasbro will reportedly not be continuing their partnership with Toei, including the use of footage from Super Sentai for the Power Rangers television series. This means that according to our sources, Super Sentai will no longer be a factor in production for Power Rangers.
Our sources are also telling us that this could mean 2021’s Power Rangers Dino Fury will be the last season of the long-running franchise after their contract with Nickelodeon expires. EDIT: To clarify, this is in reference to the current iteration of the franchise and not Power Rangers as a whole.

It’s also important to note that production for the Power Rangers franchise has moved from Allspark to another Hasbro subsidiary, eOne. This transition can mean multiple things for Power Rangers. eOne is known for the popular children’s animated series Peppa Pig, so it’s possible that an animated adaptation could be in the works. That was not explicitly confirmed by our sources, however.
Where Does Hasbro Go From Here?
There are plenty of places Hasbro can go after this. Some of these are going to be personal speculation, while others we know Hasbro will have a focus on going forward. I will make it very clear what is speculation and what has been confirmed by our sources.
In my personal opinion, I think it would be beneficial for Hasbro to move on to an animated series going forward. Fans for years have expressed interest in a Power Rangers animated series and if Boom! Comics have proved anything its that these characters can have amazing storylines when they aren’t being restricted by existing footage. They also could adapt certain storylines from the comics such as Shattered Grid to bring fans in.
It is also possible (not confirmed) that Hasbro could put a heavier focus on the Boom! Comics once Power Rangers Dino Fury has concluded. However, similarly to the Nickelodeon deal, the Power Rangers deal at Boom! Studios will also be running out in 2021, so it’s possible that Hasbro could chose to not continue the deal. Considering the success of the comics however, I have a hard time believing that Hasbro would want to stop their partnership with Boom! Studios.

Now another thing that our sources have confirmed is that Hasbro is committed to their upcoming Power Rangers movie that is in development over at Paramount. We will have more information about the new movie within the next couple of days, so be sure to stay tuned for that.
What are your guy’s thoughts on this shocking news? How do you think Hasbro should continue Power Rangers going forward? With the state of the world right now things are always in flux, so we will keep you posted of any new developments.

I only a little bit into Anime because of lion king being my all time #1 childhood. I’m not big on anime.

I really hope the power rangers legacy continues, it’s my absolute favorite TV show!!!!! please don’t make it get cancelled!!!!!

i think hasbro should continue their partnership with toei because if they don’t, there’ll be no way for toei to put action music in the episodes of power rangers without help from hasbro.
Is that some kind of lie?
Don’t know, but i think its fake….
This is fake news. What sources are there that you mentioned? No links to ‘supposed’ confirmation at all, not to mention how I personally couldn’t find a SINGLE toy of each of the combining zords at all before New Years last year. Heck, I could only find two on New Years (yellow Chopper and silver Jet) and I had to get the gold one (the Wrecker Zord) online months later! Surely that lack of those toys (giving more playability) has to do with the popularity of the show! Also, why buy the rights to the show when you’re just going… Read more »
There’s many signs that will lead many to believe that this article is fake, and I’m inclined to agree. First of all: there’s no disclaimer saying that your “source” (assuming a person from the wording) doesn’t wanted their identity to be revealed in fear of breaking an NDA or something along those lines. Second even if you weren’t if your “source” is fully correct, you could’ve easily wrote yourself out of a corner by using some simple key phrases to distinguish what is “confirmed” and what’s just rumors. Without all of that, people are gonna demand proof from your “source”.… Read more »
Why on Earth would they stop Power Rangers
Why is Hasbro ending partnership with Toei Animation?
is thisHASBRO TO END PARTNERSHIP WITH TOEI – WHAT THIS MEANS FOR POWER RANGERS ON TV: EXCLUSIVEis this fake news
That’s likely man.
“Could be the last season” Two years after buying the property? That’s dumber than buying a new car and setting it on fire because it needs an oil change. Maybe the rumor regarding Toei is true but including statement like “OMG LAST SEASON GUYS” makes it harder to take seriously. Not to mention that though eOne has produced live action productions, and is already handling the latest series, the association with Peppa Pig leads to the assumption that Power Rangers is now more likely to switch to animation… The sources may be legit but the article is weirdly clickbaitey
This news is irrelevant and unreliable at all.
Fake news. Should interview Hasbro first
