Pete Danielsen, the EVP of Programming for Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group, said about the new series:

We are very excited to introduce this fun and iconic property, which has spanned over two decades, to a whole new generation of kids. This new season of Power Ranger Samurai will feature all new heroes, villains and special effects while keeping the core messages of friendship, teamwork and empowerment that the series has always exhibited.

Here is a description of the show:

“Power Rangers Samurai follows a new generation of five Rangers who must master the ancient Samurai Symbols of Power which give them control over the elements of Fire, Water, Sky, Forest and Earth. Under the guidance of their all-knowing Samurai mentor, Ji, and with the aid of their devoted animal Zords (Lion, Dragon, Ape, Turtle and Bear), they battle to save Earth from the dark forces of the Netherworld led by the evil Master Xandred.”

- Red Ranger, Jayden (Alex Heartman)
- Pink Ranger, Mia (Erika Fong)
- Blue Ranger, Kevin (Najee De-Tiege)
- Yellow Ranger, Emily (Brittany Pritle)
- Green Ranger, Mike (Hector David)

The first episode of “Power Rangers Samurai” is titled “The Team Unites.” Here is a description of the episode:

“After Mike can’t anticipate an attack like Kevin and Jayden, he grows frustrated and takes a break from training to meet up with old friends. But when a long-armed monster named Rofer attacks, Mike unsuccessfully attempts to fight him alone, and his friends are injured. Jayden and Mentor explain the hard truth that Samurai Rangers must stay away from family and friends in order to protect them from the dangers that are involved with being a Ranger. Inspired, Mike begins to take his role and training as a Samurai Ranger more seriously. With Jayden’s help, Mike uses his training and creativity to anticipate Rofer’s moves and defeats him.”
