Power Rangers 2017 Reboot
Now, if you're looking for something a bit more modern, may we suggest the recent (and incredibly underrated) 2017 Power Rangers movie. The film aimed to reboot the franchise for a modern audience, and while it bombed at the box office, those who watched it discovered a compelling coming of age story, slick costumes, and most importantly a fantastic cast. While they won't be returning, you can at least rewatch their first adventure on a platform of your choosing.
Now, it's not streaming anywhere at the moment, but you can rent it on Amazon Prime Video or YouTube (paid). You can also grab it on Blu-ray, and the official description can be found below.
"SABAN'S POWER RANGERS follows five ordinary teens who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove - and the world - is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues - and, before it's too late, band together as the Power Rangers."

Power Rangers HyperForce
Hey, we told you we'd get to them! If you've never watched HyperForce, it was a live tabletop experience in conjunction with Hyper RPG. While we haven't received a second season yet, fans grew to adore the charming cast and the tabletop gameplay every week, which also invited big-name stars from the franchise to join in on the fun. The good news is that you can watch all of these episodes for free on Hyper RPG's YouTube channel, and you can find the full playlist right here.
You can find the official description for HyperForce below.
"Hyperforce starts out in the year 3016 at the Time Force Academy and features a team of Time Force Ranger cadets that must band together to defeat an ancient evil who is messing with the timestream. Under the leadership of their mentor, Jen Scott (Time Force's Erin Cahill), the newly minted Rangers will cross both time and space to complete their mission while running into many familiar eras (and faces) along the way."
Power Rangers Comics
It's never been a better time to be a Power Rangers fan, and you can credit a big part of that shifting tide to BOOM! Studios. BOOM! launched their Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series during a lull in the franchise, but slowly built up a fanbase with character-rich storytelling and gorgeous visuals. Since that launch we've had one of the biggest events ever in Shattered Grid, which has been followed by storylines like Beyond The Grid and most recently Necessary Evil, not to mention Mighty Morphin's companion series Go Go Power Rangers and the series of one-shots and graphic novels.
Most recently the franchise has grown again to produce Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which you should absolutely give a shot because it's amazing.
We've listed all the series available below, and all of them can be found at your local comic shop, book store, or via ComiXology.
