Below is a list of Power Rangers seasons currently showing removal dates (it’s not every Power Rangers title as of the time of publishing). The list covers Netflix USA and the UK. Other regions may vary but this seems like it’s the global rights coming up for removal:

Power Rangers Titles Not Currently Being Removed From Netflix

Power Rangers Beast Morphers, the most recent in the franchise, which has just finished its two season run on Nickelodeon, has been getting regular updates on Netflix. Season 1 hit Netflix in October 2019 and season 2 followed in October 2020.
Officially Netflix did not include the Power Rangers library in its leaving soon list for the end of January (which includes February 1st removals) and the dates only began appearing as of January 2nd. No announcement has come from Hasbro, Saban Entertainment, or Netflix on the removals.
As of right now, no new streaming home has been announced for Power Rangers but I’ll keep this post updated over time as and when I learn of new information. Some have speculated that Paramount+ could be the recipient, as the streamer is currently bulking up its content ahead of a relaunch early this year, but frankly, it’s anyone’s guess right now.
It’s also worth noting the next Power Rangers series, Dino Fury , the next instalment of Power Rangers, has Netflix listed as one of the distributors although Entertainment One (eOne), a studio which Hasbro has acquired, is believed to be distributing it. Power Rangers Dino Furyis set to premiere on Nickelodeon later this year.
Will you miss the Power Ranger titles if and when they leave Netflix on February 1st, 2021? Let me know in the comments.
Nickelodeon to Release Avatar: The Last Airbender Cookbook in August 2021
The return of Avatar: The Last Airbender into the public consciousness has been one of the few high points of 2020. Thanks to the arrival of both it and its sequel series The Legend of Korra onto Netflix and CBS All Access, a brand new generation of people are discovering the magic of both series. Part of that magic is the depth of its setting, which draws extensively on multiple cultures to create something that is simultaneously believable and utterly fantastic. Fans are always looking for new ways to explore this world, and a new cookbook from Simon & Schuster’s Insight Editions imprint is going to let them do exactly that by letting them recreate foods from all four nations of the Avatar universe!
The book is being written by Jenny Dorsey, a Shanghai-born chef and food writer who has competed on both Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen. The book is divided up into four sections, with each nation getting a set of mains, appetizers, sides, desserts, and drinks themed around their unique cuisines. According to the publisher, information will be provided to adapt the sixty included recipes to different diets as needed. Thanks to some images posted on the websites of book retailers, we already have some idea of the contents.
Fans of the show will recognize things like Fire Flakes, Guru Pathik’s Onion-Banana Juice, Sea Prune Stew, and, naturally, Cactus Juice (it’ll quench ya). You can also see how the cultures that influenced each nation have been taken into account, with traditional things like Athabaskan Akutaq (a.k.a. Alaskan Ice Cream) and Tibetan Momos getting recipes right alongside the more fanciful things. Some of the names feel a bit like a themed restaurant (Toph’s Crispy Fish Filet or Sozin's Comet drink, anyone?) but there does seem to be quite a bit of thought being put into the selection of dishes to fit the show. It is yet to be seen, however, where we’re supposed to get a possum-duck or an Arctic hen. Maybe the Cabbage Merchant will know.
These are still just draft pages, but the photography already looks amazing.
The hardcover book will be released in the U.S. on August 21st of 2021 and in the U.K. on August 24, 2021, so you’ve got plenty of time to work up an appetite. You can pre-order it at most online book stores, where it’s gonna run you $24.99 USD/£19.00 GBP. Pre-order the book now at Simon & Schuster and on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

Nick News Brief: Storyboard artist Tory Harris (Disney's DuckTales and Monsters at Work) has revealed on Twitter that he's joined the crew of Nickelodeon's upcoming CG-animated series, Big Nate!:
My #AnimationJourney hasn't been the longest, but I'm glad for every step along the way. Started off as a revisionist-for-hire, then board artist on Ducktales, and been boarding ever since! pic.twitter.com/lMcS1HbsZq
Announced in February 2020, Nickelodeon is taking the misadventures of Big Nate from page to screen with an all-new animated TV series based on the best-selling children’s books written and drawn by acclaimed author and cartoonist Lincoln Peirce. The eponymous 26-episode series follows Nate, a precocious 11-year-old boy, and his best friends as they navigate sixth grade with humor and style. Big Nate is being produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif.
“Big Nate is a book title I've wanted to translate into a series for a long time, and I am so happy this awesome, super-funny character is coming to Nickelodeon," said Ramsey Naito, Executive Vice President, Animation Production and Development, Nickelodeon. “All of creator Lincoln Peirce's slightly unruly, but entirely relatable characters share Nick’s same creative DNA, and we can't wait for them to join our amazing family!"
The TV series will feature brand-new original storylines centered on Nate and his mischievous shenanigans that usually result in disaster, detention or both. Whether trying to convince everyone that their school is haunted to get out of a test, or accidentally setting the pet iguana free in the school’s air ducts, Nate and his friends cause trouble everywhere--and must keep their cool before they get caught.
The Big Nate TV series is executive produced by Mitch Watson (All Hail King Julien) and John Cohen (The Angry Birds Movie), with Peirce serving as consultant throughout development and production. Bridget McMeel is co-producer.

Tucker was born in East Peoria Illinois. Due to his poor school performance, his parents put him into a private school. He would spend most of his time at home watching cartoons with his father and cites these experiences as being very special to him.
While in animation class, his instructor moved him to Los Angeles after graduation to work at Disney, where he launched his career working on films such as The Little Mermaid. Tucker then went to work on shows such as A.L.F. and The Simpsons, before heading to Nickelodeon, where he served in a variety of roles on a raft of the network's beloved animated series, including Rugrats, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold!, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, Oh Yeah! Cartoons ("Planet Kate/Fat Head"), The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, The Mighty B! and The Ren & Stimpy Show, as well as The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Tucker's daughter is also one of the kids' voices that can be heard in the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song.
Tucker also worked on animated series such as Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man, 2 Stupid Dogs, Family Guy, Party Wagon, Camp Lazlo!, Clarence and Madagascar spin-off All Hail King Julien. His last credit was working as a storyboard revisionist on the upcoming theatrical Bob's Burgers: The Movie.
During his time on SpongeBob, he won the 38th Annual Annie Award in 2011 for Best Music in a Television Production alongside Jeremy Wakefield, Sage Guyton, and Nick Carr.
In January 2015, Tucker began teaching graphic and animation design at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia.
Former SpongeBob storyboard artist Nick Lauer paid tribute to the late animator on Twitter: Last night I found out my mentor from college, Tuck Tucker, passed away. He was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. I learned so much from him. You might know him from Spongebob and Hey Arnold (he was a big reason why Helga turned out to be such a great character). I would not be where I am today without his guidance. I can’t get over the fact that I won’t be able to chat on the phone with him again. Don’t forget to tell the important people in your life how much they mean to you. One day it may be too late. Thanks for everything, Tuck."
Nickelodeon also paid tribute to the late animator on Twitter, saying: "We lost a dear friend and staple of the Animation community last week. Tuck Tucker was a gem, and will be sorely missed. Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Rest in Power, pal."

Fans of Hunter Street were thrilled earlier this year when Nickelodeon announced that it had renewed the network's hit mystery and adventure live-action series for a fourth season. Production of Hunter Street season 4 was originally planned to commence in May 2020, however, the announcement was made in February, before the world went topsy turvy due to the global COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, leaving fans wondering if and when Hunter Street season 4 will still get made.
Actor Ronald Top, who plays Erik Hunter on Hunter Street has reassured fans on Instagram by posting an update about the production status of Hunter Street season 4. On May 13, Top posted a photo of him with Tooske Ragas (Kate Hunter) with the message "Kate and Eric can’t wait to reopen Hunter house! #hunterstreet #nickelodeon". When replying to fans saying that they can't wait for the new season, asking when filming will start, Top said: "we can’t wait either! I’m sure it will air where you live," "We’ll start filming when it’s safe to do so," and "Good question, we hope soon. We’re all excited to be filming a new season of Hunter Street soon. I’ll keep you posted!"
Update (7/4) - Ronald Top has revealed that Hunter Street season four will resume filming later this month!:
So the good news is, Hunter Street season 4 is still in the pipeline! The bad news, however, is that it might not be made for a little while longer yet.
Update (3/1) - Filming for Hunter Street season 4 at Studio's Aalsmeer wrapped in mid-November 2020! Filming also took place at Warnier Posta and Haarlem Centrum:
Fans have also been wondering whether Daan Creyghton will be reprising his role of 'Sal' in Hunter Street season four. Unfortunately, it sounds like he won't be in season four.
Fun, laughs and action await viewers this upcoming season, which will follow the Hunter kids undercover to find and unite both new and ancient technology, discover that they are not the only kid members of ‘The Relatives’ as they had previously thought, and take on powerful enemies with grudges against the Hunters that threaten to tear the family apart. Hunter Street season four will air on Nickelodeon’s international channels in 170+ countries and territories.
Hunter Street will see returning stars Kyra Smith as the free-spirited Hunter sister Anika; Kate Bensdorp as Evie; Eliyha Altena as Oliver; Sarah Nauta as Jasmyn; Alyssa Guerrouche as Jennie; Tooske Ragas as Kate Hunter; Ronald Top as Erik Hunter; and Cystine Carreon as Oliver’s Mom, Dottie; and some new cast members to be announced.
“Hunter Street’s success is a testament to Nick’s innovative, international production model and we know fans everywhere will enjoy seeing what adventures the Hunters get into this season,” said Nina Hahn, SVP International Production & Development, Nickelodeon.
Hunter Street is produced for an international audience by Blooming Media. The series was originally co-developed with the Nickelodeon Netherlands series, De Ludwigs.
