The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series is turning 30 this year, and some of the original cast are reuniting for a scripted Netflix special.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always, premiering on April 19, reunites Walter E. Jones (Zack, Black Ranger), David Yost (Billy, Blue Ranger), Catherine Sutherland (Kat, Pink Ranger), Steve Cardenas (Rocky, Red Ranger), Karan Ashley (Aisha, Yellow Ranger), and Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam, Black Ranger).
A behind-the-scenes video of the former teenage superheroes reunited on set has been shared on Twitter, showing the now-adults performing stunts while wearing their respective coloured morph suits.

"It's such a different take on what we've done before, but a lot of the same elements are there," Yost teases in the footage, adding: "I think what I'm most excited for the fans to see in this 30th anniversary special is for them to see us all together and our chemistry and our growth."
Although not every former Power Ranger appears in the special, Sutherland promised plenty of references to the original show.
"There are so many little Easter eggs, I just think it's going to give the fans everything they want," she said.
