Now, In an interview with Deadline, EOne’s Michael Lombardo revealed their plans for future shows based on Hasbro IP. They plan to use different studios for the shows that will be scripted and unscripted. Lombardo was hired later in June 2020 as the President of Global Television for the company. He previously was the President of Programming for HBO.
The Power Rangers will be getting their own universe on Netflix helmed by Johnathan Entwistle. The universe will essentially be seen as a reboot and contain multiple series and television shows, following the failed attempt at a reboot by Saban and Lionsgate in 2017. Power Rangers was arguably the biggest project Saban produced. They also produced VR Troopers and Big Bad Bettleborgs.
