Power Rangers MEGAFORCE Celebrates the Franchise's 20th Anniversary

Power Rangers MEGAFORCE Celebrates the Franchise's 20th Anniversary
Saban Brands released a press release via Retail Merchandiser website, previewing fans on what's in store for the franchise's 20th anniversary and the new series, and previously rumored, “POWER RANGERS MEGAFORCE.”

Although says Elie Dekel, Saban’s president, never revealed on which series they will adapt next, he stated that Saban Brands plans to embrace the series’ cross-generational appeal during the anniversary by celebrating its past as well as its present and future.
“We’re in an exciting place as a brand. We look at the 20th anniversary not just as a celebration of the past, but as our entry into a third decade. [...] Just like our audience, we’re constantly reinventing ourselves. [...] We can honestly say that after 20 years, this isn’t a fluke – kids really do identify with and engage with this show.”

With Power Rangers Samurai, which adapted Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, ending in just a few months, Saban Brands still haven't confirmed which Super Sentai series they will adapt next. Will it be Tensou Sentai Goseiger or Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, the series' 35th Anniversary celebration.

Casting calls from auditions, and reports of TOEI filming a new version of the “Legend War” scene both have hinted that they are going to adapt Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger next, and skipping Goseiger. But as said earlier, Saban have yet to confirm it.
