Hasbro’s eOne has announced that Power Rangers Cosmic Fury will premiere on Netflix on September 29. David Yost, known for his role as Billy Cranston, will join the series’ cast.
“We felt it would be a meaningful landmark for fans to have David return to the show in a significant role, playing a mentor,” executive producer Simon Bennett told Entertainment Weekly. “And on a personal level, it was a thrill to be working with the O.G. Blue Ranger. David’s calm and positive spirit kept us all grounded and reminded us of the Ranger legacy we were striving to do justice to.”
Bennett added that Billy’s return was planned even before April’s Once & Always reunion special came together, so the two programs will be “completely separate… and we were asked to keep it that way, apart from a couple of tiny Easter eggs. I won’t give these away, but I’m keen to see if fans pick up on them.”
