Development

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. In February 2022, casting sides for the season were released.

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. 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.

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.
