Saban Brands is gearing up for a milestone year in 2018, with the 25th anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise. While the long-running series continues to go from strength to strength, the company has been busy building up its slate with newer hits such as Cirque du Soleil Junior—Luna Petunia. A third season of the animated preschool show is now available on Netflix and a fourth season has been announced for 2018. At MIPCOM, Saban Brands debuted Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty, developed in partnership with Funrise.
