When Rita Repulsa returns, the Power Rangers are the only ones who can stop her! But after 30 years, can the team still be the heroes the world needs?

The trailer showcases the reunion of Power Rangers like Walter E. Jones (Zack, the Black Ranger), David Yost (Billy, the Blue Ranger), Catherine Sutherland (Kat, the second Pink Ranger), Karan Ashley (Aisha, the second Yellow Ranger), Steve Cardenas (Rocky, the second Red Ranger), and Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam, the second Black Ranger). They will also be joined by a new addition, Charlie Kersh, who will be playing the daughter of Trini (the former yellow ranger).

In the trailer, we also learn that Rita Repulsa is responsible for the death of Trini in the Power Rangers universe. In the real world, the late Thuy Trang played the original Yellow Ranger, Trini, but she passed away in a car accident in 2001. Charlie Kersch will play Minh, Trini’s daughter. It’s all a bit bittersweet considering that the legendary Jason David Frank (the original Green Ranger and White Ranger) recently passed away several months before this announcement. Let’s hope there’ll be a tribute of some sort to him in the upcoming anniversary special.

Barbara Goodson also reprises her role as the voice of their arch nemesis Rita Repulsa.

The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were part of many childhoods, especially the 90s kids. It will premiere on Netflix on 19 April 2023.

Lyle, Lyle Crocodile (20 April 2023)

A singing crocodile in a family-friendly musical sounds like it’s just for kids, but Lyle Lyle Crocodile is a surprisingly charming and heartwarming movie that even adults and older viewers can enjoy. It’s an adaptation of the children’s story of the same name but it’s definitely fun for everyone of all ages.

Also, Shawn Mendes sings, what’s not to like? Check out my full review here.

Sweet Tooth Season 2 (27 April 2023)
