The next generation of Power Rangers has arrived. IGN can exclusively reveal the release date for Power Rangers Dino Fury, which will premiere on Saturday, February 20 at 8 a.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon. We’ve also got an exclusive teaser trailer and cast photo, giving us a closer look at the new Dino Fury Power Rangers. The 28th season of the long-running superhero franchise is adapted from the Japanese Super Sentai series Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger.
As the title suggests, the new team will be following the dinosaur-powered theme first established when the show began back in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, echoing 2004’s Power Rangers Dino Thunder and 2015’s Dino Charge team.
