Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called "Morph-X" with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers. The Rangers must fight off an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin Grid itself. Featuring never-before-seen leather suits and an all-new beast-themed arsenal (including dynamic new Zords), fans should get ready for a season full of secret ops and morphinominal fun.
Based on the description, the series will adapt the 36th entry of the Super Sentai Series, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, a series that was skipped in favor of the following entry, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. More on the series, Saban Brands CEO Janet Hsu states, "With 'Beast Morphers' we introduce fan-favorite animal themes with a new, intriguing special ops storyline that keeps the Power Rangers series fresh for viewers of all ages, especially the new generation of viewers."
Finally, it was officially announced that Hasbro is now the master toy license holder of the Power Rangers franchise starting April 1, 2019. This will cover all markets except for Japan and certain Asian markets. It means that all major Power Rangers projects will have their toys produced by Hasbro, and that includes the upcoming series, Power Rangers Beast Morphers. The first set of Beast Morphers toys will be released in spring 2019. The announcement also unveiled the new franchise logo.
