When Earth is on the verge of an alien invasion, five teenagers, who are infused with superhuman abilities, must harness their newfound powers to battle this threat - as the Power Rangers.

Made in Auckland for more than a decade, Power Rangers is one of the top rated and longest running kids' live-action television shows. It airs in over 150 markets worldwide.

The series was originally produced in New Zealand by The Walt Disney Studios. When Saban Brands reacquired Power Rangers in 2010, the production remained in the country.

The show is now in its 22nd season (and its 10th season made in New Zealand), Power Rangers Dino Charge.

Owned by global entertainment giant Saban Brands, the Power Rangers franchise is the brainchild of Haim Saban, creator and producer of the original 1993 hit series, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
