According to the awesome folks over at RangerCrew via USAToday, Saban has announced its 22nd Power Rangers season, Power Rangers Dino Charge! Adapted from the Super Sentai series Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, the season will re-focus on the power of dinosaurs. The Beast Batteries (Zyudenshi) have been renamed Paragon Prisms.
The USAToday article states that these Paragon Prisms were given to twelve dinosaurs to keep safe, but were lost when an asteroid hit the Earth. An intergalactic bounty hunter now seeks them out in order to destroy the world, so a new team of Power Rangers forms to find the Prisms first and stop said bounty hunter.
“We know fans will find this next season larger than life,” says Saban Brands President Elie Dekel.
This comes as somewhat of a surprise as Saban has been known to follow Super Sentai season-for-season, and what would have been the next season was Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. Rumors suggest that the series’ overall ratings and sales had something to do with this decision, but we likely won’t know anything until an official statement is released.
