Plot
Sixty-five million years ago, evil alien monsters known as Sporix Beasts ravaged the planet Rafkon before traveling to Earth. However, six Rafkonian knights pursued them and, along with six dinosaurs, were granted the power to become the Dino Fury Power Rangers by the Morphin' Masters. They captured the Sporix, though all were seemingly lost except for the Red Ranger, Zayto, who went into stasis to prevent the Sporix's escape. In the present, intergalactic warrior Void Knight accidentally unleashes the Sporix while trying to steal them, forcing Zayto and his friend, a cyborg dinosaur named Solon, to recruit a new team of Rangers consisting of teenagers Amelia Jones, Ollie Akana, stepsiblings Izzy and Javi Garcia, and fellow knight Aiyon to help in their fight.

Episodes
Production
In an interview with Den of Geek, Executive Producer Simon Bennett said that Dino Fury was originally planned to be one 22-episode season before a second season was picked up and 22 additional episodes were ordered. Bennett said the additional episodes were to "plug the gaps" between episodes that were already written, while the overall storyline remained the same. Bennett said that beginning with Dino Fury, serialized episodes were allowed to be written, saying prior to Dino Fury standalone episodes were mandated apart from the first two episodes and last two episodes.
Music
Bert Selen composed the score. Selen also co-wrote and performed the theme song, which included lyrics of "Go Go Power Rangers" by Ron Wasserman.
A 35-track soundtrack album was released by Hasbro in July 12, 2024.
