In March 2025, it was reported that a new live-action series was in the works at Disney+ and 20th Century TV, with Hasbro producing the series and<em> Percy Jackson and the Olympians<\/em> showrunners Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz serving as showrunners, writers, and producers. <\/p>\n<p>According to<em> Deadline, <\/em>the series will not be moving past the development stage, with this decision reportedly being due to business and budgetary reasons rather than creative ones. A live-action superhero show living up to the expectations of the <em>Power Rangers<\/em> franchise was always going to be a substantial investment and was further complicated by Hasbro owning the rights to the brand as opposed to Disney or 20th Century. <\/p>\n<p><em>More to come&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card tag type-generic large \" data-show-streamrentbuy-links=\"false\"
