Power Rangers Watch Order: complete list

0 / 51 done
  1. 60 episodes, August 28, 1993 to May 23, 1994 on Fox Kids; adapts Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. The only true beginning.

  2. 52 episodes, July 21, 1994 to May 20, 1995; Dairanger suits and footage. Lord Zedd arrives and Tommy becomes the White Ranger.

  3. 33 episodes, September 2 to November 27, 1995; Kakuranger footage. Includes the three-part "A Friend in Need", the backdoor pilot for Saban's Masked Rider.

  4. 10 episodes, February 5 to 17, 1996. Officially a special season rather than season 4, and the bridge from Mighty Morphin into Zeo. Do not skip it if you are doing the Zordon arc.

  5. 50 episodes, April 20 to November 27, 1996; adapts Chouriki Sentai Ohranger.

  6. March 28, 1997, and unlike the 1995 film this one is canon. Set after Zeo, it introduces Justin and Divatox, who carry straight into the Turbo season.

  7. 45 episodes, April 19 to November 24, 1997; adapts Gekisou Sentai Carranger. It starts mid-story from the film, so watch the film first.

  8. 43 episodes, February 6 to November 21, 1998; adapts Denji Sentai Megaranger. The finale "Countdown to Destruction" ends the six-season Zordon arc and is the single best place to stop.

  9. 45 episodes, February 6 to December 18, 1999. The first self-contained season and the start of the annual team-up tradition, here with the Space Rangers.

  10. 40 episodes, February 12 to November 18, 2000. Standalone, with a Lost Galaxy team-up as its only real tie to the wider story.

  11. 40 episodes, February 3 to November 17, 2001; adapts Mirai Sentai Timeranger. Framed from the year 3000, which is the setup HyperForce later builds on.

  12. 40 episodes, February 9 to November 16, 2002. The last Saban Entertainment season, and home to "Forever Red", the 10th-anniversary Red Ranger crossover and the franchise's most ambitious team-up.

  13. 38 episodes, February 15 to November 15, 2003. The first Disney season and the first shot in New Zealand. Early episodes treat past Ranger teams as fiction, an idea the show quietly abandoned.

  14. 38 episodes, February 14 to November 20, 2004. Tommy Oliver returns as the Black Ranger, and the two-part "Thunder Storm" crossover folds Ninja Storm back into the main continuity.

  15. 38 episodes, February 5 to November 14, 2005; adapts Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger. Set in 2025, which is why a chronological order files it near the end. One of the strongest cold-start seasons.

  16. 32 episodes, February 20 to November 13, 2006; adapts Mahou Sentai Magiranger.

  17. 32 episodes, February 26 to November 12, 2007. Contains "Once a Ranger", the veteran team-up that pulls in Rangers from five earlier seasons.

  18. 32 episodes, February 18 to November 3, 2008; adapts Juken Sentai Gekiranger.

  19. 32 episodes, March 7 to December 26, 2009. The last Disney-produced season, post-apocalyptic and the tonal outlier of the franchise. Later placed in its own dimension, and its villain Venjix comes back a decade later in Beast Morphers.

  20. February 7 to December 10, 2011 on Nickelodeon (23 episodes in Wikipedia's table, counting specials); adapts Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. The Saban Brands era begins, and so does the two-season pairing habit.

  21. Aired November 26, 2011. The RPM crossover that retroactively made RPM a separate dimension rather than mainline continuity.

  22. 22 episodes, February 18 to December 15, 2012. The second half of the Samurai story, so watch it with Samurai or not at all.

  23. 22 episodes, February 2 to December 7, 2013; adapts Tensou Sentai Goseiger.

  24. 20 episodes, February 15 to November 22, 2014; adapts Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. The 20th-anniversary season, and widely considered a botched adaptation of a beloved Sentai.

  25. November 24, 2014. Combines "The Wrath" and "Legendary Battle" with alternate dialogue and extra footage, and is treated as the definitive ending of the season.

  26. 22 episodes, February 7 to December 12, 2015; adapts Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. Usually named as the best of the Nickelodeon era.

  27. 22 episodes, January 30 to December 10, 2016. The second half of the Dino Charge story.

  28. 22 episodes from January 21, 2017 on Nickelodeon; adapts Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. First half of a two-season story.

  29. 22 episodes across 2018, ending December 1, 2018. The second half of the Ninja Steel story and the last season made under Saban Brands before Hasbro took over the franchise.

  30. 22 episodes, March 2 to December 14, 2019; adapts Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. The first Hasbro-era season, and a direct sequel to RPM ten years later.

  31. 22 episodes, February 22 to December 12, 2020. The penultimate episode reveals that the villain Evox is a reincarnation of RPM's Venjix, which is the payoff for that whole thread.

  32. 22 episodes from February 20, 2021 on Nickelodeon; adapts Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger.

  33. 22 episodes, concluding September 29, 2022, by which point the show had moved to Netflix. The second half of the Dino Fury story and the direct setup for Cosmic Fury.

  34. April 19, 2023 on Netflix, 55 minutes. The 30th-anniversary reunion, with Billy, Zack, Kat, Rocky, Adam and Aisha, plus Minh Kwan, daughter of original Yellow Ranger Trini. Its story opens in 2022, but Cosmic Fury's finale is also written as a lead-in, which is why placement is argued about.

  35. 10 episodes, released September 29, 2023 on Netflix. A direct sequel to Dino Fury with the same cast, plus David Yost back as Billy Cranston, and intended by producer Simon Bennett as the final season of the continuity that started in 1993.

  36. Theatrical, June 30, 1995. Wikipedia places it outside franchise continuity, in an alternate timeline, so a story-first viewer can drop it entirely. The first Saban production made without Super Sentai stock footage.

  37. March 24, 2017, Lionsgate. A reboot in its own continuity that loosely retells the pilot episode "Day of the Dumpster". It lost money against a budget above 100 million dollars and the planned sequels were cancelled, so nothing else depends on it.

  38. A live-play tabletop RPG series streamed on Twitch from late 2017 into 2018, set in 3016 at the Time Force Academy. A side project rather than a season, and the entry a strict chronology has to file after everything else.

  39. SkippableThe Lost Episode 1999

    May 22, 1999. A clip-show special about the unaired Mighty Morphin pilot. Trivia rather than story, so it is safe to skip.

  40. 32 episodes, January 2 to August 28, 2010. A re-edit of season 1 with new graphics and effects and no new story. It exists only to fill the gap before Samurai.

  41. 55 issues, 2016 to October 2020. It opens alongside season 2 and rapidly becomes its own continuity built around Lord Drakkon, the Tommy who never joined the team. The starting point for every later BOOM! comic.

  42. 32 issues, 2017 to June 2020. A parallel series set during the original team's first year; read it beside vol. 1 rather than after it, since the two braid together at Shattered Grid.

  43. February 21 to August 29, 2018. The 25th-anniversary crossover across Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #24 to 30 and Go Go Power Rangers #8 to 12, plus specials and an annual. The high point of the comic line.

  44. The arc that follows Shattered Grid from September 2018, with a new creative team and a cast pulled from across the multiverse.

  45. The second big crossover event, beginning February 2019 and running across both ongoing titles.

  46. November 2020. Two new ongoing titles launched side by side under the Unlimited Power banner. A clean jumping-on point if you do not want to start back in 2016.

  47. The crossover that runs the two Unlimited Power titles together, spanning 2021 into 2022.

  48. The run-up to the line's milestone 100th issue, sitting between The Eltarian War and Darkest Hour.

  49. The final BOOM! event, ending in July 2024 and closing out the continuity that began in 2016.

  50. Launched in 2024 as a wholly separate continuity rather than a continuation, so nothing before it is required reading.

  51. A fresh number one from June 2026, the third distinct comic starting point. Begin here if you only want the current book.

Why this order?

Power Rangers looks like the most intimidating watch order on television and is actually one of the friendliest, because it is two different shows wearing the same name. Seasons one through six are a single continuous story. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers seasons 1 to 3 run straight into the ten-episode Alien Rangers miniseries, which hands off to Zeo, which hands off to Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, which starts the Turbo season mid-plot, which ends in In Space. That last season closes with "Countdown to Destruction", the finale of the Zordon arc and the only real ending the franchise had for 25 years. Watch that block in order or the handoffs will not make sense.

Everything from Lost Galaxy (1999) to RPM (2009) is the opposite. Each season is a new cast, a new premise, a new set of powers and a clean first episode, connected to the rest only by annual team-up episodes and cameos. You can start cold at S.P.D., Dino Thunder or RPM and lose nothing but in-jokes. If someone tells you that you have to watch nearly a thousand episodes to reach the good season, they are wrong.

From Samurai (2011) onward the seasons pair off. Samurai and Super Samurai, Megaforce and Super Megaforce, Dino Charge and Dino Super Charge, Ninja Steel and Super Ninja Steel, Beast Morphers 1 and 2, Dino Fury 1 and 2 are each one story split over two years, so you take the pair or you take neither. Only two chains cross those pairs: RPM (2009) sets up Beast Morphers (2019) through the villain Venjix, and Dino Fury runs directly into Cosmic Fury (2023) with the same cast, which is the one modern season you cannot watch first.

The films are the usual trap. The 1995 movie is not continuity at all, and Wikipedia describes it as taking place in an alternate timeline, so a story-first viewer drops it rather than squeezing it into season 3. Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie in 1997 is the opposite: it is mandatory, because the Turbo season literally begins after it. The 2017 Lionsgate film is a standalone reboot whose sequels were cancelled, so it fits anywhere or nowhere. Our chronological order reflects the other honest divergences too: S.P.D. is set in 2025 and the HyperForce web series in 3016, so both move to the end, RPM runs straight into Beast Morphers as one Venjix thread, and Cosmic Fury sits before Once & Always because its finale is written as the lead-in.

Frequently asked questions

How many Power Rangers seasons and movies are there?

This guide tracks 51 entries: 32 seasons of TV between 1993 and 2023 (Wikipedia counts 30 seasons and 973 episodes, treating Alien Rangers and the 2010 re-version as special seasons), three films (1995, 1997 and the 2017 reboot), four specials (The Lost Episode in 1999, Clash of the Red Rangers in 2011, the Legendary Battle Extended Edition in 2014 and Once & Always in 2023), the HyperForce web series, and eleven BOOM! Studios comic runs.

Do I have to watch Power Rangers in order?

Only the first six seasons. Mighty Morphin seasons 1 to 3, Alien Rangers, Zeo, Turbo and In Space are one continuous story and have to go in that order. After In Space, every season through RPM (2009) is standalone with a new cast and a clean first episode, so you can start wherever you like. From Samurai (2011) onward the seasons come in two-season pairs that belong together, and only two chains cross seasons: RPM into Beast Morphers, and Dino Fury into Cosmic Fury.

Where should I start with Power Rangers?

For the classic story, start at Mighty Morphin season 1 episode 1 from August 28, 1993, and stop after In Space if you want a complete arc with a real ending. If you just want a good show and do not care about 1993, start cold at Dino Thunder (2004), S.P.D. (2005) or RPM (2009), all of which are self-contained. If you want the current continuity, Dino Fury season 1 (2021) runs straight into Cosmic Fury (2023).

Which Power Rangers seasons are actually connected?

Four groups. The 1993 to 1998 block (Mighty Morphin seasons 1 to 3, Alien Rangers, Zeo, the 1997 Turbo film, Turbo, In Space) is one story that ends the Zordon arc. RPM (2009) is a prequel to Beast Morphers (2019 and 2020), whose villain Evox turns out to be RPM's Venjix. Dino Fury (2021 to 2022) runs directly into Cosmic Fury (2023) with the same cast. And every modern season pairs with its Super half: Samurai and Super Samurai, Megaforce and Super Megaforce, Dino Charge and Dino Super Charge, Ninja Steel and Super Ninja Steel, Beast Morphers 1 and 2, Dino Fury 1 and 2. Everything else is standalone with team-up cameos.

Do I need to watch Dino Fury before Cosmic Fury?

Yes. Cosmic Fury is a direct sequel with the same cast, picking up from the 44 episodes of Dino Fury, so it is the one modern season that does not work as an entry point. It is also the season that pays off the older continuity, with David Yost back as Billy Cranston and a finale that hints Zordon may still be out there.

Is the 2017 Power Rangers movie part of the TV show?

No. The 2017 Lionsgate film is a reboot in its own continuity, loosely retelling the pilot episode, and nothing in the series refers to it. It underperformed and the planned sequels were cancelled, so it is a one-off you can watch at any point or skip. The 1995 movie is a similar case: Wikipedia places it in an alternate timeline rather than continuity. The one film you must not skip is Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997), because the Turbo season begins right where it ends.

Should I watch Once & Always before or after Cosmic Fury?

Release order says before: the special landed on Netflix on April 19, 2023 and Cosmic Fury followed on September 29, 2023. Story order is genuinely argued about, because Once & Always opens in 2022 and follows the original team, while Cosmic Fury's finale is written as a lead-in to it. Both work. If you are watching everything, take them in release order; if you are chasing the timeline, put Once & Always after Cosmic Fury, which is what the chronological order here does.

Is Power Rangers over or is a new series coming?

Cosmic Fury (2023) was intended as the final season of the continuity that began in 1993, and every attempt to follow it has stalled. Hasbro's Netflix partnership ended in 2024, a Paramount tie-up was only ever rumoured in December 2024, and the live-action Disney+ series announced in March 2025 with 20th Television was shelved in August 2026 on cost grounds, with sources telling Deadline the studio balked at funding a property it would not own. As of August 2026 there is no successor in production.

What order do the Power Rangers comics go in?

There are three separate starting points and none of them interleave with the TV order. The BOOM! Studios continuity begins with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers vol. 1 (2016 to 2020) with Go Go Power Rangers running alongside it, then Shattered Grid (2018), Beyond the Grid, Necessary Evil (2019), the November 2020 Unlimited Power relaunch, The Eltarian War, the run-up to issue 100, and finally Darkest Hour, which ended in July 2024. Power Rangers Prime (2024) is its own continuity, and the June 2026 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers relaunch is a third clean start.

Can I skip the 2010 Mighty Morphin re-version and The Lost Episode?

Yes, both. The 2010 re-version is season 1 re-edited with new graphics and effects and contains no new story; it aired to fill the gap before Samurai. The Lost Episode (May 22, 1999) is a clip-show special about the unaired pilot, which is fun trivia and nothing more. Neither is referenced anywhere else, so skipping them costs you nothing.
