So I was watching Johnny Bosch live on IG a few mins ago and someone said Power Rangers was supposed to end next year. Johnny said he also HEARD that. So, its just rumor. Does anyone have any info to confirm or debunk this rumor??

There is nothing confirmed. Probably is associated to the rumor of Hasbro ending its partnership with Toei (a rumor I don't believe completely. Toei owns half of the IP. Some creative decisions has to pass with Toei)

Does anyone have any info to confirm or debunk this rumor?? I believe some of the rumours, as the source has proven very accurate with Power Rangers news in the past

Ya this been discuss for awhile now. Personally come on you really think hasbro would buy the ip. To just do 2 TV shows and that it. And just try and make the franchise just movies that take 2 or 3 years to happen. Vs having a yearly franchise to make money off of. But hell we won't know what what to hasbro makes any official news.

Bought up Babylon 5 to allow JMS to make his final season and the TV Movies...then they meddled with the spin-off Crusade and axed it. And Hasbro aren't going to officially state anything. That's not how this works. We've been over this.

Oh come on if the show was ending there has to be some sort of announcement via a hasbro ex or chip/simon. But honesty what would be the dam point in buying the ip. And not have a show be it live action or animated to market the toys. And all you got is toys. You think you make more on brand having a show, the toys/games/comics, and then of course 3rd market a film series. So you cover all your bases. Plus the fact franchise is 2 years from 30th anniversary. Why stop doing a show when so close to a big anniversary. If anything I say go to 30.
Then maybe take a break from the show if the new film is a success and leads to a sequel or 2. And then when at least a trilogy is done. You return to tv. But again we don't know what is what. For all we know and I said it before the whole rumor of spilt from toei could just be some tactic toei or hasbro are doing to make a new deal. Or maybe hasbro feels they could do things on there own. There is just to many factors we don't know in the matter.

I'm just going to re-post something I've already posted on another board:
In my opinion, it's just best for Hasbro to do 1 more Sentai adaptation with a special team-up episode where Veteran Rangers could have another go at fighting the bad guys along with the current team before making 1 solid series finale. PR has already skipped so many Sentai seasons that it can't possibly catch up even if the 40 episode-seasons returned. Plus I think that Beast Morphers really left things on a high note since I've seen the team-up stuff online, including cameos of some characters from previous seasons, not to mention they managed to resolve a certain storyline from a previous season as well, at least to a certain point. The cannon/series continuity is fixed as much as it can possibly be.
Also, adapting a Dino-Themed Sentai season makes sense after Beast Morphers because it can bring a certain feeling of things being brought full-circle since MMPR S01 had Dino-based powers. If PR isn't as popular as it used to be in the past, then it's time to end it while it still has some fuel left in the tank. Besides, it's time to make room for something new and give it a chance. The franchise has been trough alot as a whole, it had a bumpy ride with lots ups and downs, but it was fun (for the most part).
Personally, I'm all up for a good PR movie. And not just for some bad re-make where everything is made a lot worse. But the TV series has already done its part.

Still why would a big company like hasbro buy the ip to do only 2 series. And stop making the show. You think brand would really live on/make enough to just be a toy line with no show going with it. Honesty makes way more sense like I said to have a show for the toys to go along with for the target demo. The higher end line for us other fans. Then also like transformers have some movies too. So you can milk it for all its worth. At that point why the hell would hasbro have dump so much to buy ip not to keep it going. When Saban could have kept it and so forth.

I was listening to a blog and he made a lot of good points. One thing he said was like Transformers, they can just get behind PR movies and make their money back off that and toys. I knw we heard something about Toei not making their toys anymore but dont hasbro make their own. As much as I enjoy PR i wouldnt mine it going in a different direction. Maybe stop adapting sentai, go anime style. I wouldnt be surprised if they went full blown animated kids cartoon. Wouldnt it bw cheaper since its would be made in their own studio? Now if covid wasnt here and i heard this news, i would down play it but since we are here during these troubling times. Anything can happen

Animated series is one way to go. I personally don't like the idea, but if that's what it will take to save the franchise and keep it going, I think a professionally made animated series could do the trick. Not only that it would lower to costs of the production, but the show might have a chance at getting back to the classic 40-episode season format. Which would definitely bring back the yearly team-ups, bringing back the look & sense of the seasons being a part of the same continious story. Not to mention that some VA have already done multiple roles in multiple seasons. Building sets, props, suits and casting actors is not exactly cheap. An animated series eliminates the necessitys of building sets, props, suits and whatnot. Also eliminates the necessity of casting on-screen actors and even bringing back people from previous seasons will be easier since they would only need to do VA, which, thanks to the technology available nowdays, can be done in a living room.
That way, the animated series can act as a new foundation for the franchise and any future movie projectrs could be based off of it.

Well all counting on a money issue I rather do a live action show and a cartoon. Heck we know just going by bm hasbro spent 40mill for 2 seasons of bm. So how much would a cartoon cost or they want to dump in. And a 40 mill TV series is Def way cheaper then a 100 to 150 million dollars for a film that could not make its money back.

Never heard of this site. But I would hope we have a live action show next to a animated show. I would just hate seeing live action gone.
