Power Rangers Beast Morphers are the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh seasons of the American children's television program Power Rangers, and the first in the series to be produced by Allspark, the entertainment division of Hasbro, Inc., as well as being the first in the franchise to have all toys manufactured and distributed by Hasbro.[8][9][10] The seasons were produced using footage, costumes, and props from the 2012 Japanese Super Sentai series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. As a result, Beast Morphers marks the first time the television franchise has gone backwards to adapt a Super Sentai series that was previously skipped over. The first season premiered on Nickelodeon on March 2, 2019. The second season premiered on February 22, 2020.

Beast Morphers was originally to be produced by Saban Brands. During pre-production, Hasbro acquired the Power Rangers franchise and other entertainment assets from Saban Brands and the latter company subsequently closed on July 2, 2018.[11][12]

Plot

Set sometime in the future, scientists in the city of Coral Harbor have discovered a way to convert the infinite-power of the Morphing Grid into a physical substance called "Morph-X", providing the city with a source of unlimited clean energy. To protect the city, a secret agency known as Grid Battleforce combines Morph-X with animal DNA to create a new team of Power Rangers known as the Beast Morphers. The Beast Morpher Rangers must defend the Morphin Grid from Evox, an evil sentient computer virus that creates evil avatar clones of original Beast Morphers candidates Blaze and Roxy, who have been rendered comatose as a result. After the three of them are transported to the Cyber Dimension, Evox, Cybervillain Blaze, and Cybervillain Roxy gain its de facto ruler Scrozzle as an ally as he helps them in their plan to return Evox to Earth.[13]

In the second season, Evox (secretly possessing Mayor Daniels) continue to finish what he started after his first defeat, forcing the Beast Morpher Rangers to jump back into action.
