Emily from Hasbro confirms the hiatus. No mention of a reboot in the works, just that they're still trying to figure out what to do with the brand. That's...not the most encouraging update

With Entwistle auditioning teens to be the next Karate Kid I would hope he’s keeping some of them in mind to be new Power Rangers.

Emily said it, Hasbro haven't figured anything out yet, how the reboot affects the brand, and vice versa. That indicates to me the reboot is falling through or failing to pick up steam, and so Johnathan's quietly moved on.

Ya I doubt he still attached to project. At this point they should just hire some one else like along the lines of a Simon guy. And just do the show as is it been. Though likely still to be all original stuff. And move from that reboot movie show plan. Just continue as show as is. And then do the occasional TV special thing like 30th anniversary special was.

I agree. The old model is what Power Rangers made a series so enduring. With their flaws and strenghts. Probably the japanese went in their own direction, and newer seasons are hard to adapt, but that never stopped PR before. Think about it, there is no series that lasted for 30 years without stop, even Dr Who or Law and Order has some hiatus. Not even some soup operas lasted that long.

Ya I would just continue as is. Show is easy to make and produce. doesn't ultimately cost that much to make. And either continue work with toei and adapt xyz seasons you think would work here in the west. Or go and do full original for zords suits etc... but that would eat up more budget. Hopefully they in the power come up with a plan soon. So then they can get cracking on a future show. As we know the whole process of pre production to filming to post takes give or so like ten months. So longer a plan of action. The longer a wait for a future show be. Cause right now if they decide to just go back to the norm. Would logically could have a show in the production stage come late summer or early fall. And probably drop on spring 25.

Not gonna talk I'll of the dead, but I know that under Brian Goldner when he bought Power Rangers from Saban, their plan was to make it the MCU. But now thanks to Marvel's incompetence,the Cinematic universe bubble has burst and now it's a terrible idea. Seriously, nobody outside of Marvel has made a working cinematic universe in the same vein as Marvel and nobody can explain how it would work for Hasbro when it didn't work for DC Comics, Universal or even Saban. There's a reason why that saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" exist. Because it's basically a fact of life. Adapting Sentai for an American audience has worked for 30 years as a concept. The problem has always been the bad writing, lack of advertising and the constant MMPR nostalgia baiting. I feel like abandoning and blaming Sentai for Power Rangers' lack of quality was nothing more than a scapegoat so that Hasbro tries to avoid taking responsibility for their incompetence. But hey, Hasbro wanted their Kevin Fiege and they got him.

The current administration has a lot of fault too. Hasbro being an "Anti fan" company in latest years, has been their financial banes. I don't want to say "I told you" to everyone here, but since a year, I been warning people thata Hasbro has been stupidily incompetent with other, mayor properties like Transformers or Dungeons and Dragons. People been surprised for the awful quality of the Zords in the latest line, or the latest releases of the Lightning Collection being the same molds but different painting....when years ago toy's collectors has been compaining about quality issues in Hasbro's toys, like Star Wars or Marvel. And now, the rumor saying they wanted to sell D&D to Tencent, a Chinese company. Hasbro has been the worse thing that happened to Power Rangers.

And now, the rumor saying they wanted to sell D&D to Tencent, a Chinese company. Hasbro has been the worse thing that happened to Power Rangers. I think this rumor is gonna add more fuel to your justifiable fire and expose more of Hasbro's incompetence. There's a rumor going around that the Power Rangers will be added to Fortnite as playable skins. www.google.com/amp/s/comicbook.com/gaming/amp/news/fortnite-power-rangers-skins-rumor/ The fans on Twitter are hoping it's either the two top choices (based on comments) Dino Thunder or Samurai. But let's be brutally honest, it's gonna be MMPR or possibly Cosmic Fury, that way an even bigger audience can see how bad those suits are. The point is. Why would anyone do that when the brand is in indefinite hiatus? With no show or toys this year to advertise along it with, what's the point of adding Power Rangers to Fortnite with no profitable anything to come from it? There's a rumor within a rumor that Our show "Power Rangers" isn't the Power Rangers they are talking about but instead they are talking about Fortnite's current collaboration with Super Sentai, more specifically King-ohger. Just think, if they kept adapting Sentai and adapted king-ohger, Hasbro could have made more bank in collaborating with Fortnite and bringing the King-ohger collaboration in the west under it's Power Rangers counterpart. But apparently it's more profitable for the franchise to be on the shelf indefinitely and wait for the unnecessary reboot that will most likely flop.

Please, no. I couldn't accept an adaptation of Kingohger in Fortnite. Even a bad series is potentially better than something than being skins. At this point, I'm asking for the return of the Neo Saban era. Worse, I'm asking for Johnathan Tzachor......

Not much, but Jenny Klein updated her website to say she’s currently in a deal to “create and showrun Power Rangers as a one-hour series” www.weirdeggproductions.com/aboutMaybe Entwistle’s out?

I would think he probably is out. As he got to busy with other projects. And hasbro maybe didn't want to wait more. Hopefully what ever happens and who ever takes over running and writing future series will care and treat series well.

Some alleged details are making the rumour mill on social media about the reboot. Take with a grain of the usual.
1. 60 minute episodes
2. Entwhistle is still attached, will write/direct the pilot
3. Based in Angel Grove
4. Tommy leads the team, BUT...will betray them later on
5. Suits will differ from the MMPR costumes.

So they got rid of one failed weak desperate attempt at nostalgia and replaced it with another. Of course they were gonna rely on MMPR nostalgia. That's all they know how to do and it's ruining this IP. Original creativity is truly a lost art in today's Western Entertainment. No wonder people are running to Asia for entertainment, as they come up with new ideas everyday. To me, they naming the green ranger tommy is nothing but nostalgia-baiting and less to do with honoring JDF's memory. I'd say to do that, they would keep the legacy of the show he helped create alive and this isn't it but a move made by committee.
