It's morphin' time, all over again!
Hasbro has unveiled a Morphinominal first look at the 28th season of Power Rangers, titled Power Rangers Dino Fury. The trailer, below, debuted during the Power Rangers Entertainment Panel at Hasbro PulseCon on Saturday, September 26.
Update (1/31) - Nickelodeon is slated to premiere Power Rangers Dino Fury in February 2021!

Trailer transcription: "65 million years ago an ancient force brought the power of the Morphin Grid to planet Earth. Now, the forces of evil have come to claim that power, and a group of heroes must rise up to meet this challenge. Harnessing the energy of the Morphin Grid with the prehistoric power of Dino Fury. They will unlock incredible new Morphers, Dino Powered Weapons, powerful new Zords, and astonishing new Megazords. In the tradition of dinosaur teams of the past comes a brand new entry, Power Rangers Dino Fury."
The new season of the iconic franchise, adapted from Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, gets a modern update with a prehistoric twist when an army of powerful alien beings is unleashed on Earth, threatening life as we know it. A brand-new team of Power Rangers, fueled by the prehistoric power of the dinosaurs, are recruited to deal with the threat.
Power Rangers Dino Fury will premiere in early 2021 on Nickelodeon in the U.S. But check out the new season's trailer above now for a sneak peek at the action.
Hasbro's Power Rangers Entertainment Panel at Hasbro PulseCon also featured the Power Rangers Beast Morphers cast chatting all about season 2, currently airing on Nick, but it also featured the long-awaited official debut of 3 members of the Dino Fury cast.
While we didn't get all of the Rangers yet, fans did get the Red, Blue, and Pink Ranger reveals and them on video for their introductions.
Russell Curry will be playing Zato, the Dino Fury Red Ranger, while Kai Moya will be playing Ali (or Ollie, there seems to be some confusing surrounding the name), the Dino Fury Blue Ranger. Hunter Dano will be playing Amelia, the Pink Ranger.
This is a fairly generic teaser featuring a few new CGI shots but mostly just Sentai footage. The trailer itself teases a story that will involve the backstory of the Morphin Grid being brought to Earth 65 million years ago. Now in present day evil has come to claim that power. A new group of heroes will ruse up to the challenge and harness the Morphin Grid to become Power Rangers Dino Fury!
The footage revealed also gave us a look at the new morphers, a few battle sequences, and the newest Zords, and we can't wait to see more.
Hopefully it won't be long before we get the rest of the cast, but this was a pretty cool way to end the panel. There’s any number of factors that go into casting, especially during COVID-19 (coronavirus), but getting Red, Blue, and Pink all together makes sense since they form the core mecha for the season. We’re sure we’ll hear more about casting in the coming months.
The official synopsis for Dino Fury can be found below:
"When an army of powerful alien beings is unleashed on Earth threatening life as we know it, a brand-new team of Power Rangers, fueled by the pre-historic power of the dinosaurs, are recruited to deal with the threat! Power Rangers Dino Fury premieres 2021 on Nickelodeon!"
In 2018, the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers cast spoke to EW 25 years after donning the iconic colored suits to look back on becoming an instant phenomenon, explain why most of them walked away from the show, and describe what it was really like wearing that spandex.
"The show was campy, it was fun, it was colors, it was karate, but at the end of the day it had a ton of heart and was teaching teamwork," Jason David Frank, who played Green Ranger, Tommy, told EW.

From ScreenRant:
Power Rangers: Dino Fury Trailer Reveals the Return of Dinozords
The newest season of the Power Rangers TV show will see the spandex-clad heroes suit up and fight aliens in dinosaur-themed robot mechs yet again.
The latest season of the long-running Power Rangers TV series, Power Rangers: Dino Fury, will see the return of the prehistoric-themed mechs called Dinozords. Debuting back in 1993, Power Rangers follows the eponymous teenaged heroes as they defend the Earth in style from various foes. The series is based on the Japanese TV show, Super Sentai, part of a genre called "tokusatsu" in which live-action is altered with heavy use of special effects. The massive franchise has gone on for years, expanding the universe, adding to their many adventures, and cycling through countless actors portraying each of the rangers.
Nickelodeon has announced that Power Rangers season 28 will release some time in 2021. The series will feature an all-new team of rangers defending the Earth from an alien threat. Throughout the years the rangers have acquired various new powers, but none are quite as captivating as the Zords. Each of the Mighty Morphin' crew is able to suit up in one of these large mechs for taking on bigger enemies. If things get really hairy, they can form a Megazord, a Voltron-esque giant robot that the rangers pilot as one.
The Power Rangers Official YouTube page recently released the new trailer for Power Rangers: Dino Fury. The latest season will see the return of the Dinozords, which have appeared periodically throughout the Power Rangers canon, most recently in 2015's Dino Charge. According to the new trailer for the season, the aliens that have come to Earth are seeking the prehistoric power for themselves, and the new team of Power Rangers will have to use the Dinozords to prevent their power from falling into the wrong hands.
It's no secret that kids love Power Rangers and dinosaurs, so blending the two together is never a bad idea from a marketing perspective. Hasbro has been eager to release new merchandise for the franchise, announcing Power Rangers toys at their first-ever PulseCon. Old fans ready for a hit of nostalgia will be happy to see the return of the fan-favorite Dinozords, and new fans will have their minds blown for the first time.
The time is ripe for a return to form for Power Rangers. A slightly grittier 2017 movie based on the franchise was planned to be the first entry in a planned film series, but it was a flop. The creative minds that be seem to have taken the hint and decided to stick more closely to what people love so much about the franchise, as the upcoming film will fit into the same continuity as the Power Rangers series. Since the new film will include past suits and Zords, it seems fitting that Power Rangers: Dino Fury will serve to catch new fans up on the Dinozords before they eventually hit the big screen.
