A Beginner’s Guide to ‘Power Rangers’ on Netflix

Each new season would bring a new theme to the table, and across the franchise’s history, we’ve seen the Power Rangers become Ninjas, Pirates, Time Travelers, Deep-Space Explorers, amongst many others.

Toy Selling Powerhouse

By 2001, the Power Rangers were estimated to have made over $6 billion in toy sales.

The franchise no longer generates the same level of toy sales as it once did in the 90s, but it still continues to make millions of dollars every year.

Which Power Rangers series should I start first?

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Seasons: 3 | Episodes: 145
Runtime: 20 Minutes
Cast: Jason David Frank, Austin St. John, Thuy Trang, Walter Jones, Billy Cranston

The largest sub-plot of the entire series is based around Zordon, and takes place from season 1 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and ends with the final episode of Power Rangers: In Space. Each respective season thereafter is relatively self-contained and confined to defeating the leader of the new evil force threatening to destroy the home of the Power Rangers.

As the most iconic and beloved team of the franchise, you should begin your Power Rangers binge with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Once you’ve completed Mighty Morphin, you should continue down the list we’ve created below.

Why can’t I stream all of the Power Rangers movies on Netflix?

Many fans will have realized that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, amongst other films, aren’t available to stream on Netflix. Which means, this could be an issue with the distribution rights. The franchise has traded hands over the years, going from Disney back to Haim Saban and eventually sold to Hasbro.

When Hasbro bought the Power Rangers franchise from Saban, the agreement included “all related intellectual property, category rights, and content libraries owned by Saban Properties and its affiliates.” It can be assumed that all of the movies were included in the agreement.

The likeliest scenario is Netflix’s deal to acquire the streaming rights to the full Power Rangers library didn’t include the cinematic releases. We could see the movies arrive on Netflix at a later date.
