- "Power Rangers" star Amy Jo Johnson isn't coming back for the upcoming Netflix reunion.
- The special will bring back several original "Power Rangers" stars alongside a new team of heroes.
Some of the original "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" gang are getting back together for a 30th-anniversary special that celebrates the entire franchise in a huge crossover episode on Netflix.
"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always" arrives on the streaming service in April 2023 and brings David Yost back as Blue Ranger Billy Cranston, and Walter Emanuel Jones as Black Ranger Zack Taylor. But one person who isn't coming back is Amy Jo Johnson, who played Pink Ranger, Kimberly Hart.
After the news of the special was reported by Entertainment Weekly Tuesday, many "Power Rangers" fans speculated why Johnson wasn't also announced among the returning actors.
But the 52-year-old actor took to Twitter Wednesday to explain that she wasn't offered enough to suit up again, but that she's excited to see her friends on screen again.
Johnson tweeted: "For the record, I never said no… I just didn't say yes to what was offered. But other fun stuff is in store! Looking forward to watching my friends kick ass!"

Johnson last showed up alongside the team in the "Turbo: A Power Rangers" movie in 1997.
The actor left "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" during season two, passing the Pink Ranger mantle to actor Catherine Sutherland, who played Kat Hillard and is set to reprise her role in the upcoming special.
Johnson did have a brief cameo in the 2017 "Power Rangers" movie as an Angel Grove citizen alongside fellow alumni Jason David Frank, who played Green Ranger, Tommy Oliver.
Although Frank passed away in November 2022, Entertainment Weekly reported that the special was filmed several months before his death, and it's currently not clear whether he shot footage for the special or if it will pay tribute to the late star.
