  "account": "After months of speculation, Disney+ has announced they will not be moving forward with a live-action reboot of Power Rangers. This decision comes after the project, which was to be developed by the creators of Percy Jackson And The Olympians, stalled in the early stages of production. The primary reason for the cancellation is reportedly budget concerns. Despite Hasbro, the IP's actual owner, having been attempting to reboot the franchise, it appears that the financial investment required for a Power Rangers series does not seem economically viable. The last Power Rangers series, Cosmic Fury, aired on Netflix in 2023. After failing to secure a streaming home with Netflix, the franchise was transferred to Disney+. It seems the Power Rangers may soon be heading to another streaming platform, possibly in about nine months.",
