NEWS – Power Rangers Beast Morphers Season 2 Premieres February 22nd

Power Rangers Beast Morphers

Earlier this month, Hasbro announced that Season 2 (No “SUPER”!) of Power Rangers Beast Morphers will premiere this Saturday, February 22nd at 8am ET/PT on Nickelodeon. The official first look trailer shows off the return of Evox and Scrozzle, new Beast-X King powers, Beast-X mode and zords!

Today, we have a look at the Season 2 Opening Theme as well as a clip from the first episode of Season 2 titled “Believe It or Not”. In this episode, the Rangers are skeptical when Steel says he’s found clues that proves Evox may have returned.

At the end of the month on Saturday, February 29th, Episode 2 “Save Our Shores”, airs. For that episode, a huge trash spill at the beach endangers the local wildlife; Scrozzle sets about finding reinforcements. What can we expect for Episode 3? Afterall, it will be the 900th episode of the franchise. Hopefully we find out more at Toy Fair New York this Saturday!
