Rita Repulsa: Last News

Netflix on April 19, “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always” follows the beloved band of masked, spandex-ed heroes as they return to fight back against the forces of evil and satisfy our hunger for 90’s nostalgia. Low on budget and high on hype, the story of the Power Rangers began when the head dressed sorceress and absolute fashion icon Rita Repulsa, escaped from the confines of her space dumpster prison (great band name) and attacked Earth.

It’s Morphin time! Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always is 30 years in the making.

Julia MacCary editor The Power Rangers are back! Netflix is bringing back the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” cast for a 30th anniversary special, titled “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always,” premiering April 19. The Netflix special features many of original, beloved heroes, including the Blue Ranger Billy Cranston (David Yost), the first Black Ranger Zack Taylor (Walter E. Jones) and Barbara Goodson, the voice of villain Rita Repulsa. It also includes Catherine Sutherland, the second Pink Ranger; Steve Cardenas, the second Red Ranger; Karan Ashley, the second Yellow Ranger; and Johnny Yong Bosch, the second Black Ranger. In the special, the Rangers reunite to fight Rita Repulsa, who is revealed to have killed Trini, the original Yellow Power Ranger.

Instead of go-go Power Rangers for the 30th anniversary special on Netflix, at least one prominent cast member is singing no-go.

It’s morphin’ time! The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers only aired for two years, but it became a ’90s phenomenon — and spawned a ton of spinoffs and sequels.
