We’re only one day away from Rita’s return and we confirm the release time and date of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always on Netflix, introduce you to the original MMPR cast, and discuss the reunion’s run time.
After the trailer for the anniversary special dropped last month, we began discussing theories on who the Green Ranger would be, which may possibly pave the way for future installments to be made.
Directed by Charlie Haskell and written by Becca Barnes and Alwyn Dale for Netflix, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always follows the returning superheroes in a stand-alone web special to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 90s show and the overall Power Rangers franchise.

Power Rangers: Once & Always run time
The official run time for Power Rangers: Once & Always is confirmed to be 55 minutes, just shy of the one-hour mark.
While some Power Rangers fans are disappointed that the special is not even the length of a feature film, others have commented that the run time comes in longer than a two-part episode without commercials.
Parts of the fandom were even expecting to get a normal, 20-minute episode, but most are happy with the shorter run time because it will hopefully put quality over quantity.
