Power Rangers Cosmic Fury Fans Left Disappointed as Show is Canceled After One Season on Netflix
Fans of the Power Rangers franchise were dealt a devastating blow yesterday when it was announced that the latest installment, Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, will not be returning for a second season on Netflix. The show, which premiered in October 2022, had received praise from critics and audiences alike for its fresh take on the classic franchise and impressive visual effects.
Cosmic Fury was the 30th season of the long-running Power Rangers series, which has been a staple of children’s television since the early 1990s. The show followed a team of five teenagers who become the latest Power Rangers, tasked with defending the Earth from an array of intergalactic threats. The season featured a unique blend of action, adventure, and humor, and introduced a new roster of characters, including the enigmatic and powerful Galactic Fury Ranger.
Despite its initial popularity, Power Rangers Cosmic Fury struggled to find its footing in the crowded streaming landscape. According to reports, the show’s viewership numbers had declined significantly over the course of its first season, making it an unlikely candidate for renewal.
In a statement released yesterday, a Netflix spokesperson confirmed that the decision to cancel Power Rangers Cosmic Fury was a difficult one, but ultimately necessary given the show’s performance. "We appreciate the hard work and dedication of the entire Power Rangers Cosmic Fury team, and we’re grateful to have had the opportunity to bring this exciting new chapter in the Power Rangers saga to our members," the statement read. "However, we have made the decision not to renew the show for a second season."
Fans of the show took to social media to express their disappointment and frustration at the news. Many praised the show’s unique storyline and characters, and expressed their hope that the Power Rangers franchise will continue to thrive in some form.
While the cancellation of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury is a significant blow to fans of the franchise, it’s worth noting that the Power Rangers brand is far from over. In addition to the ongoing Power Rangers Dino Fury series on Nickelodeon, which is now in its third season, the franchise has a number of other projects in development, including a new feature film and various animated series.
In the meantime, fans of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury will have to say goodbye to the show and its characters, but can take comfort in the knowledge that the franchise will continue to evolve and thrive in the years to come.
