Prepare for nostalgia overload as '90s Power Rangers reunite in emotional Netflix special – Watch trailer

Three decades after captivating the hearts of millions, the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are reuniting in a nostalgic and emotional Netflix special titled Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always. The highly anticipated special premieres on April 19th, and fans are already buzzing with excitement as the first trailer drops.

Based on the iconic franchise's slogan, "once a Ranger, always a Ranger," the special follows the original team as they come together once again to face a familiar and sinister threat from their past. Amidst a global crisis, the Power Rangers are called upon to save the world, proving that they are still the heroes the world needs.

Returning for the special are Walter Emanuel Jones (original Black Ranger Zack), David Yost (original Blue Ranger Billy), Catherine Sutherland (Pink Ranger Kat from Season 3), Steve Cardenas (Season 2's Red Ranger Rocky), Karan Ashley (Yellow Ranger Aisha), and Johnny Yong Bosch (Black Ranger Adam). Unfortunately, original Green Ranger actor Jason David Frank, who passed away last year at the age of 49, will not be featured in the special. However, the production team is expected to pay tribute to him in a touching manner.

The trailer showcases the legendary Power Rangers facing off against their long-time nemesis, Rita Repulsa, who has acquired a powerful new robot body. In a surprising twist, newcomer Charlie Kersh is introduced as Trini's daughter, adding an emotional layer to the story as the team comes together to save the world.

In an interview with EW, Yost and Jones reminisced about their Power Rangers journey and the reunion experience. Yost said of Jones, "We went through the audition process together and launched the Power Rangers franchise." Jones added, "It was such a surreal experience to be on the set of Power Rangers again after 28 years."

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always pays homage to its roots while still managing to tug at the heartstrings of its audience. The special, which marks the 30th anniversary of the franchise, looks to be a fitting tribute to a beloved series that has left a bittersweet legacy.
