For The First Time In 20 Years, The Pink Power Ranger Is Being Played By A Black Woman

Better late than never! Also, did you know that Power Rangers is still on the air?

Meet the brand new cast of Nickelodeon's Power Rangers Dino Charge.

The show airs next week and it stars Camille Hyde as Shelby Watkins, the Pink Ranger.

Hyde is the first black actress to play the Pink Ranger in the 22 seasons of the American Power Rangers.

A Power Rangers fan wiki describes Hyde's character as a stubborn tomboy.

And it looks like it's about time they mixed up the formula, people are already rejoicing the casting decision.

The kid in me will be watching the new season of Power Rangers mainly because there is finally a black pink ranger! Only took 22 years.

THE NEW PINK POWER RANGER HAS BEEN CASTED AS A BLACK WOMAN. Progress >

@MimiHyde Congrats on being the first black pink power ranger #PowerRangersDinoCharge

Typically, the Pink Ranger is seen as the love interest or be the beautiful female member of the team.

It only took 22 seasons, but we're finally getting a black woman to be the Pink Power Ranger!

I hope this black pink ranger comes thru

Power Rangers Dino Charge is a good looking cast too. pink ranger Shelby is gorgeous - and the first black female pink ranger <3

In case you haven't checked in on Power Rangers in a while, this newest season is pretty similar to the ones in the past: Five teenagers get super cool robots and have to fight evil aliens to save the world.

The cast also features Indonesia-born actor Yoshua Sudarso as the Blue Ranger and Latino actor Brennan Mejia as the Red Ranger.
