NEWS – “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always” Global Premiere on Netflix April 19

The countdown begins for the ultimate reunion special as Hasbro and the Power Rangers team reveal official key art for “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always,” premiering exclusively on Netflix globally on April 19!

On March 14th, Power Rangers on Twitter tweeted a new image used as the key art for the upcoming 30th Anniversary special. This comes exactly one month after their last tweet on Valentine’s Day, which had new artwork for Rita Repulsa.

The key art features the Blue, Black, Pink and Red Mighty Morphin Power Rangers representing Billy, Zack, Katherine and Rocky respectfully; missing is the Yellow Ranger. Also featured in the background in Robo Rita, the main villain for the special.

All of this comes a few days after the official synopsis of the special was revealed on Netflix.

“After tragedy strikes, an unlikely young hero takes her rightful place among the Power Rangers to get revenge on the team’s oldest arch nemesis.”
