Power Rangers Beast Morphers are the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh seasons of the American television program Power Rangers. The first season premiered on Nickelodeon on March 2, 2019, while the second season premiered on February 22, 2020.
Beast Morphers was the only television series to be produced by Hasbro's production studio Allspark before it was absorbed into Entertainment One in October 2020, as well as the first in the franchise to have all toys manufactured and distributed by Hasbro.[8][9][10] Both seasons were produced using footage, costumes, and props from the thirty-sixth entry in the Japanese long-running tokusatsu drama Super Sentai series, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters which aired in 2012. As a result, Beast Morphers marks the first time the American series has adapted an entry in the Super Sentai series that was previously skipped over. The series also serves as a direct sequel to Power Rangers RPM (2009).[11]
Beast Morphers was originally to be produced by Saban Brands. During pre-production, Hasbro acquired the Power Rangers franchise and other entertainment assets from Saban Brands and the latter company subsequently closed on July 2, 2018.[12][13]
Plot[]
Scientists in the city of Coral Harbor have discovered a way to convert the infinite power of the Morphin Grid into a physical substance called "Morph-X", providing the city with a source of unlimited clean energy. To protect the city, a secret agency known as Grid Battleforce combines Morph-X with animal DNA to create a new team of Power Rangers. Now the Beast Morpher Rangers: Devon Daniels, Ravi Shaw, and Zoey Reeves must defend the Morphin Grid from Evox, an evil sentient computer virus from another dimension and his evil avatar clones of original Ranger candidates Blaze and Roxy, who were rendered comatose. After the three of them are transported to the Cyber Dimension, Evox, Cybervillain Blaze, and Cybervillain Roxy gain its de facto ruler Scrozzle as an ally as he helps them in their plan to return Evox to Earth.[14]
As the Rangers battle Evox's robot monsters, they gain two new additions to the team: Nate Silva, the head researcher and scientist of Grid Battleforce who becomes the Gold Ranger and Steel, a robot Nate was forced to create as a body for Evox, who gains sentience and becomes the Silver Ranger.
In the second season, Evox possesses Mayor Daniels and plots to finish what he started with the help of Scrozzle, who uses a machine to revive the Blaze and Roxy avatars as robots. Along the way, the Rangers uncover Evox's true origins and receive help from the original, Dino Thunder, and Dino Charge Rangers as well as allies of the RPM Rangers to defeat Evox and his minions once and for all.

However, Coral Harbor's Mayor, Adam Daniels, is skeptical of their idea. When the organization initiates the formation of their Ranger team, an evil sentient computer virus, Evox, corrupts the technology and incapacitates two of the cadets, creating evil Ranger avatars in their place. Mayor Daniels' son, Devon Daniels, who trespassed into Grid Battleforce's facilities, and laundry girl Zoey Reeves stumble across the crisis and save the last standing cadet, with all three morphing into Rangers in the midst of the battle. With their new powers, the three Rangers defeat the two avatars and Evox. Afterwards, the trio discover that the real cadets, Blaze and Roxy, are in a coma.
