Breaking News: Iconic Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger Set to Join Cast! Exclusive Details & September Premiere Date Confirmed

Summary

David Yost, the original Blue Ranger, is returning in Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, reprising his role as Billy Cranston.

The premiere of the new series, Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, is set exclusively for September 29, 2023, on Netflix. It will carry on the storyline from Power Rangers Dino Fury, with the same cast, as they engage in a space battle against Lord Zedd.

Power Rangers Cosmic Fury has announced exciting new updates, including the return of David Yost as the Blue Ranger, Billy Cranston, from the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers series. Yost previously portrayed Billy until Power Rangers Zeo and made a comeback in the 30th anniversary special Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Once & Always.

Now, Hasbro has confirmed that Yost will reprise his role as Billy Cranston in Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, which will debut on Netflix on September 29, 2023. Hasbro has also revealed that the series will bring together the cast from Power Rangers Dino Fury as they venture into space to prevent Lord Zedd from conquering the galaxy. Power Rangers Cosmic Fury will introduce new Zords and weapons for the Rangers, while continuing the storyline from Dino Fury. Additionally, the opening theme song has been released and can be viewed below.

How The Mighty Morphin' Blue Ranger Fits Into Power Rangers Cosmic Fury

Billy is set to become the tech leader of the Power Rangers Cosmic Fury team, as they work together to halt Zedd's plan to conquer the universe. Zedd's previous appearance in Power Rangers Dino Fury solidified the show's connection to the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers canon. With Billy now joining Cosmic Fury, it becomes even more evident that the series exists within the same universe as the original show.

Power Rangers Cosmic Fury draws inspiration from the Super Sentai series Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, which first aired in 2017. Notably, it will be the first Power Rangers series since Power Rangers Zeo to bring back team members to form a new team. Additionally, this marks the second Power Rangers series released exclusively on Netflix, following the release of Power Rangers Dino Fury season 2 in March 2022.

Billy's inclusion in the 10 episodes of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury suggests that the series will likely incorporate numerous allusions to the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. It is possible that additional characters or ideas from the original series will also be introduced in this latest season of Power Rangers. As the release of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury approaches next month, it won't be long before we discover how Billy reunites with the new Ranger team.
