Netflix announces Power Rangers reunion special

You can expect to watch Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always in April, announced the streaming platform. Original cast members David Yost (Billy Cranston, a.k.a. Blue Ranger), Walter E. Jones (Zack Taylor, a.k.a. Black Ranger), and Barbara Goodson (as in the voice of Rita Repulsa) have been confirmed to a part of the reunion, though the entertainment company is mum on the full list of returnees.

What we do know is that the special will hinge on the Rangers old creed of "Once a ranger, always a ranger." Apt, especially if you're an old fan that has remained loyal throughout the years. The special will see the original rangers reunite to battle against an old threat—yup, think a global crisis that only our childhood heroes can save us from. 

The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a staple of a '90s kid's childhood. The U.S. Fox Kids production took its cues from the Japanese TV series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, in turn a part of Toei's Super Sentai franchise. The Power Rangers landed on our shores in 1993 and immediately became part of our popular culture, too.
