Cosmic Fury uses some footage from Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, while using new suits with modified helmets carried over from Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, with minimal costume and prop elements being recycled from Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, and Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger.[3] It is the second and last television series produced by Entertainment One following its acquisition by Hasbro in 2019, before it was changed to Hasbro Entertainment.

Cosmic Fury is the thirtieth and final season to be set in the original continuity established by Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, with a reboot series set to release in 2025.[4]

When Lord Zedd returns more powerful than ever, Team Cosmic Fury takes to the cosmos to battle the emperor of evil — and save the universe as we know it.

Development on a thirtieth season of Power Rangers began as early as May 2021, with the cast and crew of Dino Fury having already signed on to a future third season.[7] In February 2022, casting sides for the season were released.[8] In June 2022, the title of the show Cosmic Fury was leaked to the public, though it was initially believed to have been a placeholder title, subjected to change.

On August 27, 2022, Hasbro revealed that Simon Bennett would be returning from Dino Fury as executive producer for Cosmic Fury, alongside the show's six main returning cast members.[9] According to Bennett, Dino Fury was intended to end at the second season, but due to the positive reception with the series, Hasbro made the executive decision to continue with a third season.[10]

On September 30, 2022, Hasbro Pulse held a Power Rangers panel featuring Bennett and the cast for Power Rangers Cosmic Fury. It was confirmed that Cosmic Fury would be only adapting Zord footage and antagonists from Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, while suits and on-ground fights will be entirely original.[11] Furthermore, Bennett confirmed that the series will premiere simultaneously worldwide on Netflix, eliminating any potential spoilers from early international airings.

Post-production

Bennett confirmed that Cosmic Fury has entered post-production and will not be finished until late July.[14] By early June, ADR work had been completed.[15][16] By late July, post-production had wrapped.[17]
