Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always cast – All the returning actors
The gang is back together for a nostalgic special.
Children of the '90s, rejoice! The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are back together once more to fend off the latest evil plan from their long-time nemesis Rita Repulsa.
Netflix has reunited the cast of the children's show which briefly took over the world, following a group of friends granted superpowers by an inter-dimensional being known as Zordon.
As shown in the trailer, the special opens with the death of Trini Kwan, the first Yellow Ranger, which shocks the team into coming back together to avenge their fallen friend.
In real life, actor Thuy Trang, who played Trini, tragically died in a car accident aged just 27, so the storyline allows the franchise to pay tribute to her – and continue the character's legacy by introducing her daughter, Minh (Charlie Kersh).
