Last time on Power Rangers...
They're morphin' in outer space, and they're out to save the human race. They are:
Release date: September 29th, 2023
Platform: Netflix
Production house(s): Hasbro and Entertainment One
Executive produced by: Simon Bennett, Olivier Dumont, Kari Rosenberg, Haim Saban, and Randi Yaffa
Episode count: 10
Mighty Reprisin Power Rangers
At just ten episodes, there's little time to introduce a slew of new plot elements, which makes the group of returning characters an easier way to streamline the usual introductions seen in most seasons. Pardon the haphazardness, I could not source any good individual shots for four characters and had to settle for images from the prior two seasons.
Amelia Jones, the Red Cosmic Fury Ranger (formerly Pink Dino Fury Ranger II)
Portrayed by: Hunter Deno
The intrepid reporter of BuzzBlast learned some utterly shocking personal revelations last season, and now she's stepping into the role of the TV franchise's first full-time female Red Ranger as she guides her friends into space.
Ollie Akana, the Blue Cosmic Fury Ranger (formerly Blue Dino Fury Ranger II)
Portrayed by: Kai Moya
Usually skeptical of the supernatural, Ollie's had to open his mind a little. Of course, having Lord Zedd controlling his mind for one episode last season is another way to gain new perspective.
Izzy Garcia, the Green Cosmic Fury Ranger (formerly Green Dino Fury Ranger II)
Portrayed by: Tessa Rao
The ever-outspoken and shamelessly Gen Z Green Ranger of this team is back to deliver savage barbs and fawn over her adoring girlfriend, who may or may not have gotten herself wrapped up in this whole intergalactic war.
Javi Garcia, the Black Cosmic Fury Ranger (formerly Black Dino Fury Ranger II)
Portrayed by: Chance Perez
Izzy's older stepbrother, Javi (pronounced "Ha-vee") is an aspiring musician and coworker of Amelia. He seems to be getting a new arm this season, so I'm curious about how that happened. In the meantime, gaze upon his glorious weapon that should totally be a guitar.
Aiyon, the Gold Cosmic Fury Ranger (formerly the Gold Dino Fury Ranger)
Portrayed by: Jordon Fite
Aiyon will likely try (again) to make good on his promise to take out Lord Zedd. In a franchise first for Power Rangers but technically not Super Sentai, a Gold Ranger is formally part of the core team in the story and marketing. Given that Aiyon is a millions-of-years-old Rafkonian who was a founding member of the original Dino Fury team, I suppose it makes sense.
Zayto, the Zenith Ranger (formerly the Red Dino Fury Ranger and the Ghost Ranger)
Portrayed by: Russell Curry
Zayto seemingly became one with the Morphin Grid at the end of Dino Fury before arriving as the Ghost Ranger to warn his team of Lord Zedd's escape. He seems to be working closely with the Morphin Masters and even picked up their penchant for capes. As for his color as the Zenith Ranger, Russell Curry describes it as "champagne." It's beige, which is a color new to Power Rangers and Super Sentai.
Fern
Portrayed by: Jacqueline Joe
A track runner and Izzy's rival-turned-girlfriend, Fern appeared intermittently in the prior two seasons and seems to be primed for a much larger role in this season judging by the fact that she's actually in the opening credits now. Pictures, footage, and text rumors already have spoiled a lot about her role, but I'm going to keep my mouth shut within the confines of this post.
Billy Cranston, the Blue Mighty Morphin Ranger
Portrayed by: David Yost
And we end this continuity with an OG. Billy, the original Blue Ranger and technical advisor to the Zeo Rangers, has returned once more to aid the current team against their shared nemesis. Based on sneak peeks, he'll be fighting right alongside them from episode 1.
Solon
Portrayed by: Dahnu Graham
Voiced by: Josephine Davison
The Rangers' companion who runs technical operations at their base, Dinohenge. She's presumably as old as Zayto and Aiyon, if not older, and has dispensed sage wisdom in classic PR mentor fashion.
Lord Zedd
Portrayed by: Unknown
Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore
Escaping from his confinement in the Morphin Masters' domain, Lord Zedd is back to wreak gravelly vengeance upon the entire universe with his new allies. His base of operations this season is apparently Eltar, the home planet of his age-old nemesis Zordon.
What makes this season different?
A lot. First female Red Ranger from the start and not as a short-term member, no Pink or Yellow Ranger in the line-up (as far as I know), mostly original suits, all-original ground battle footage, and because of the concentrated episode count, the first anniversary season where returning characters (beyond the Dino Fury cast) are present on a recurring basis, plus there's hardly any "filler" in the traditional Power Rangers sense. The production crew stressed that they crafted a single continuous story to serve as a cap to the Dino Fury Rangers' adventures.
This is it, folks. After 30 seasons and one unfinished reversion of MMPR season 1, the mostly linear continuity that we've watched for three decades is coming to an end for now. Last season in "the old ways" and the last season to be filmed in New Zealand. The most recent executive producer of the franchise made it vehemently clear weeks ago.

It's bittersweet making this thread on the 30th anniversary and effectively saying goodbye, but we've had a long run. For comparison's sake:
-Power Rangers lasted longer than the DC Animated Universe and Arrowverse combined.
-Its run nearly eclipses the combined runs of the three major U.S. Saturday morning blocks -- Fox Kids, Kids WB, One Saturday Morning -- it was contemporaneous with. Thirty years versus 32 years when counted sequentially.
-Four Ninja Turtles shows started and five ended while Power Rangers was airing.
-It has more episodes than Scooby-Doo!, Star Trek, Doctor Who (original and modern runs combined), and The Simpsons.
It's cheap to make, but impressive nonetheless.
Meanwhile, a subsection of PR Twitter is doing me a specific solid on how to enjoy the show:

The ancient weapons of mass destruction known as the Sporix Beasts landed on Earth millions of years ago. Zayto, the leader of the Knights of Rafkon, was awakened from his slumber by two contemporary Earthlings to stop the newly freed Sporix that were wreaking havoc in 2021. The trio, eventually joined by the Garcia siblings and the last surviving Knight of Rafkon, protected the city of Pine Ridge as the Dino Fury Power Rangers. Aided by a bipedal cyborg dinosaur and their ever-loyal fleet of Zords, the Rangers waged a campaign against the Sporix and their self-appointed master, the enigmatic extraterrestrial Void Knight. In truth, Void Knight only wanted the Sporix to heal his comatose wife Santaura, which he eventually did at a terrible cost. The corrupting power of the Sporix and Santaura's own disdain for Earth's people for holding her hostage and destroying her family led her to absorb more Sporix energy and become Void Queen. She transformed the regretful Void Knight into Void King and set out to utilize every Sporix to create a nightmarish amalgamation known as the Nemesis Beast. With herself controlling the creature, she would wipe out Earth's people and the remaining Rafkonians who had arrived to make it their home. Red Dino Fury Ranger Zayto, himself partially responsible for allowing the Sporix to be released millions of years ago, took up the power of the Dino Master Saber (a weapon gifted to him by the Morphin Masters) and sacrificed himself and the Rangers' Zords to destroy the Nemesis Beast. Santaura was purged of the Sporix's influence and the Earth was at peace once more, the Morphin Masters acknowledging Zayto's sacrifice and containing the Sporix Beasts for safekeeping while the Earthlings and Rafkonians vowed to coexist.
Oh, and between all of that, the Rangers fought a resurgent Lord Zedd recreated from his pre-marriage days of evil and had a Morphin Master encase him in crystal. And then he broke out, which means the battle continues to the final frontier for the Power Rangers, Zayto very much included.

Welcome, Ranger Nation, to the OT for the 30th season of the Power Rangers franchise. Premiering exclusively on Netflix worldwide on September 29th, 2023, we have Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, the third season to feature the Dino Fury cast. Adapting some monster suits and mecha footage from Uchū Sentai Kyuranger, this season of PR will feature a newly crafted group of Ranger suits with modified helmets from the Dino Fury Rangers.Mighty Reprisin Power Rangers

Mentioned in our review. If you are binging the series after episodes 1-3, skip the rest of the intros and watch them after your first watch through.
Btw PLEASE skip the Opening to Episode 4!! It spoils something really cool that happens in the episode.
And I need to see reactions to one specific moment of Episode 10! After I watched it I needed to take like 5 minutes to calm down as it completely caught me off guard
