Each episode begins with a problem with nature seen on Earth. A rainbow is sent to Kaleidoscopia and Kalia calls all seven rangers and Floof to her.

When the mission is completed, the three rangers return to Kaleidoscopia on their scooters.

Production
In September 2016, Genius Brands announced that they were partnering with The Lion King and Flypaper director Rob Minkoff and Frozen writer Shane Morris on their new Rainbow Rangers series.[3]
Early designs had the Rangers looking much more stylized than their finalized versions, with minor variations in their powers and personalities, and the original villain was Acrimonia, Kalia's jealous younger sister, instead of Preston Praxton.[4]
Nickelodeon has gained broadcast rights in the United States and Caribbean Basin regions.[1] On April 23, 2019, it was announced that Nickelodeon would also be bringing the show to Latin America.[5]
