“Percy Jackson” Showrunners to Develop New “Power Rangers” Series for Disney+
Disney+ and 20th Century TV have tapped Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz, the showrunners behind “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” to develop a new live-action “Power Rangers” series, according to reports from TheWrap.

Steinberg and Shotz are in discussions to write, showrun, and produce the series, which will be produced by Hasbro, the current rights holder of the “Power Rangers” franchise. Hasbro acquired the property in 2018.
The “Power Rangers” franchise, which originated with “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” in 1993, has a long history of television adaptations from Japan’s “Super Sentai.” The most recent series, “Power Rangers Cosmic Fury,” aired in 2023. The franchise has also seen several film adaptations, including a 2017 reboot that was ultimately unsuccessful.
Hasbro Entertainment is currently developing various film and television projects based on its extensive intellectual property portfolio, including titles such as “Clue,” “Dungeons & Dragons,” “Magic: The Gathering,” “Trivial Pursuit,” and “Scrabble.”
Steinberg and Shotz’s involvement in the “Power Rangers” series follows their successful collaboration on Disney+’s “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” which Steinberg co-created with author Rick Riordan. The duo also co-showruns the series, which recently received a third-season renewal, with the second season set to premiere this December. Additionally, they co-created and executive produced FX’s “The Old Man,” produced by Disney’s 20th Television. They are represented by WME.
