Power Rangers Dino Super Charge, the second season of Dino Charge, will premiere in the US Saturday, January 30 at 12 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.
Saban Brands officially confirmed the airdate in a press release, in which Executive Producer Chip Lynn described the season as “the continuation of the fan-favorite Dino Charge theme as well as an unprecedented team of 10 Power Rangers.”
Even bigger news, perhaps, is the official reveal and series description of Power Rangers Ninja Steel, the 24th season of the franchise in 2017. An adaptation Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Ninja Steel will feature familiar elements in Power Rangers: a villain from space searching for a mythical artifact that is protected by a team of heroic teenagers (in this case, a Spirit Crystal with “supernatural Ninja Power Throwing Stars.”) A surprising new element is the villain’s origin — Zircon is the well-known champion of an “intergalactic gameshow,” which means “each epic battle against the Rangers is broadcast throughout the universe.” That’s likely to throw a ripple in the typical Power Rangers formula.
Fan-favorite Executive Producer Chip Lynn will return as showrunner for Power Rangers Ninja Steel, which will continue on Nickelodeon through at least 2018.
