'Power Rangers Beast Morphers' Star Jacqueline Scislowski Reveals What She Got to Keep From the Set

Power Rangers Beast Morphers hit the ground running in February with season 2, and thankfully fans have a lot of the season left to enjoy. That said, the cast and crew have already completed filming on the show's second season, and that means they've also said goodbye to the set of Beast Morphers. Fortunately, in addition to forever being a part of Ranger Nation, they also left the show with some cool swag, and when ComicBook.com had the chance to talk to Beast Morphers' Yellow Ranger Jacqueline Scislowski, they found out exactly what she kept from the show., and it's pretty sweet.


"Actually it was really cool," Scislowski said. "The wardrobe department actually sent us 10 items that we selected before we left, so I actually have a full get-up of Zoey's outfit. So if you ever catch me walking around looking like the Power Ranger, it's probably me in the actual outfit that I wore."

You always hear about actors having to 'steal' something or smuggle out cool things from the set, so it's nice to hear that there's already a system in place to get the actors a selection of items directly from the show when they leave.

Granted, there's got to be limits to just clothing and smaller items, otherwise, you would have fans trying to take a Beast Bot home. Imagine someone trying to get Smash on a plane...yes, I would totally try and don't judge me for that because you would to if you could. Just saying.

Let me know what you would have taken home from the set of Power Rangers in the comments!


Scislowski and ComicBook.com had a chance to talk about a lot more in their full interview, which you can check out right here!:

Power Rangers' Jacqueline Scislowski Talks Love from Ranger Nation, Teases Beast Morphers Season 2, and More

Power Rangers fans have come to love the newest team of Rangers in Hasbro's Power Rangers: Beast Morphers, and that is in large part due to the charm and personalities of the cast bringing those characters to life. You can definitely say that about the team's Yellow Ranger Zoey Reeves, who is brought to life by Jacqueline Scislowski in the hit show. ComicBook.com recently had the chance to speak to Scislowski about all things Power Rangers, including how life's changed since becoming a Ranger, her feelings on season 1, what she might have added to Zoey's season 1 journey, and what's up next for her just to name a few. First though we had to get some details on season 2, and if playing Zoey has changed much from one season to the other.

"Yeah, I think the biggest difference is probably that I think season one was sort of more the normal kind of expectation for all the original fans and everything," Scislowski said. "I think it's definitely more for laying the groundwork character-wise. Each character had their own episode, obviously. So I think in season one, you have to wait till the episode comes around till your character sort of develops another color or another kind of issue or internal battle of some sort. I think in season two, it's kind of awesome because all that has been laid down and now it's the juicier things and building on top of that. I think that sort of freed up a lot of things with Zoey and her interactions with the team and relationships are forming and things like that, so definitely a lot more freeing and juicy the second season."

Fan reaction to Beast Morphers season 1 was quite positive, and Scislowski couldn't be more thrilled with all the support she has received from Ranger Nation throughout this process.

"The reaction was really amazing," Scislowski said. "I've always said that all of us felt like we had huge shoes to fill, which obviously we do, with Power Rangers being around for so many years. I think all of us had a lot of nerves going into this and hoping to make everybody sort of proud and also live up to all the executions and also bring some of ourselves and some new things into it as well while still making Ranger Nation happy. But we got such a great response and I think that the fans have really shocked me with how much they're even encouraging us when we're maybe not sure or almost discouraged with ourselves at times. The fans have always been there to be like, 'No, this is great. We love it. It's everything we could have hoped for and sometimes even more,' which is even more incredible."

We learned a lot about Zoey in the first season, though there is one aspect of her personality that she wishes could've had a bit more time onscreen, and that's Zoey's lighthearted side.

"Yeah, I would have loved to have a little bit more of a goofier side to her as well," Scislowski said. "I definitely really admire that she's always focused. I mean, she's very professional when she's doing her Yellow Ranger job and being a superhero to her is everything she's trained for and this is her life, so she definitely takes it seriously. But yeah, I definitely love to have a little bit of a goofy side, but she's also right the way that she is."

As for season 2, we've already seen the first few episodes, but Scislowski says we haven't seen anything yet. "Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I've tended to say season one is very good. Season one is good. Season one is testing the waters, mixing things around, but season two is insane," Scislowski said. "There's going to be lots of things that you don't expect, some things that have developed further, there's going to be a lot. So I'm really excited, really excited."

This journey has been a whirlwind for Scisloswki with a host of standout moments, though perhaps the most surprising thing for her is how fans have embraced her as part of the Power Rangers family, regardless of which generation they happen to be a part of.

"The most surprising part has been how I never fail to get such a loving reaction from anybody that finds out that I'm a Power Ranger," Scislowski said. "I really didn't know how that would all come about because obviously it has been going on for so long, but you just don't even realize how many different generations of people really, truly loved it. This is their childhood or this is what motivated them through something or whatever it may be. It's definitely been so shocking and surprising that anybody that ever comes up to me or finds out that I'm a Power Ranger is so kind and so happy and wants to know all about it and thinks it's this amazing thing. If you lose the Power Ranger and you're kind of like, 'Nobody thinks I'm cool. I'm just me. Okay', it's definitely really cool. People truly find you kind of inspirational and really do see you as a superhero. It definitely translates into my real life and I'm like, "Okay, I've got to still fill the shoes of a superhero even on my time off' so to speak."

Now that filming on Beast Morphers has concluded, Scislowski is keeping busy with a host of other projects, including two new film projects. "Yeah, so it's been pretty crazy," Scislowski said. "After the show, I moved actually because I previously lived in Chicago, but I officially moved back to L.A. permanently, which has been awesome and so exciting. I actually just wrapped two films, one is called the Root of Perfection, and that one's really cool. It's very unique and different and it was very much so fun to go straight from Power Rangers to that because it's super, super different. But also, I love my character in a project called Top of the Class, which will be coming out, I think, in September."

Like all of us, Scislowski is also trying to stay home whenever she can, and she's kept herself quite busy thanks to the Dollar Store, a Kazoo, and some wigs.

"All of this craziness has been going on, but thank God for Skype and Zoom," Scislowski said. "I've been doing a lot of auditions and meetings via that, so a lot of things still happening. I'm staying positive and trying to just keep up. I collected a bunch of stuff from the Dollar Store because I do these blueberry videos, and so I've got a kazoo on the end, a little clear net thing and a bunch of wigs. So we're making videos, we're keeping myself and my fans entertained."

Power Rangers' Jacqueline Scislowski Reveals Surprising Favorite Episode from Beast Morphers Season 1

Power Rangers Beast Morphers is currently cruising through season 2, giving fans new Zords, new Megazords, and new characters. Now, while season 2 might have all the flash, season 1 gave us a lot to enjoy as well, and during a recent conversation with Beast Morphers' Yellow Ranger Jacqueline Scislowski, we had to ask what her particular favorite episode happened to be. There were a lot of great moments to choose from, but you might be surprised at which episode ended up on the top of Scislowski's list, an episode that brought the enraged Viking Ingrid Ironaxe to life. For those who saw the Halloween episode Hypnotic Halloween, you know exactly why it quickly became one of her favorites.

"But my personal favorite episode was the very non-traditional one, which was the Halloween episode where Zoey got to play Ingrid Ironaxe," Scislowski said. "I feel I owe a very special thank you to the writers because I had pushed them so much to let Zoey have more of a comedic, funny side to her, but it didn't really align with the show and who she was as the Yellow Ranger. I think they sort of crafted Ingrid Ironaxe to give me what I kind of always hoped for, so that was pretty awesome."

It's easy to see how much fun Scislowski had with the character, and we're kind of hoping Ironaxe makes a comeback in season 2. If you don't remember Ironaxe, let us refresh your memory with this amazing video.

Scislowski and I had a chance to talk about a lot more in our full interview, which you can check out right here!

Power Rangers Beast Morphers' Jacqueline Scislowski Reveals Advice She Took to Heart From Austin St. John

Power Rangers Beast Morphers has continued the momentum from season 1 in season 2, though the second half of the season is going to be even more epic thanks to the upcoming crossover episode. That team-up will feature the return of the original Red Ranger himself Austin St. John, and we cannot wait to see what the Mighty Morphin, Dino Charge, Dino Thunder, and Beast Morphers team-up looks like. We recently had the chance to talk to Beast Morphers Yellow Ranger Jacqueline Scislowski all about season 2, and while there are still mysteries regarding the episode, we did find out what it was like hanging out with St. John on the set during filming and the advice he had along for her and the whole Beast Morphers team along the way.

When we asked what it was like having him on the set, Scislowski said "It was insane. It was so crazy to see him and just kind of hear about all the stories of his experience and just all the things. It was so crazy. He gave us a lot of advice, and I think one of the biggest things that he said was, 'Appreciate every step of your journey.'"

"Power Rangers being one of the big steps in my journey, we only get to be out there for nine months, which is a long time, but also a short time in the grand scheme of things, and so it can definitely fly by really fast, which it did. So I think what stuck with me is really making sure to be present and grateful and motivated as possible every single day and never let that passion for what we do die, even with the tiredness or the homesickness or anything like that. It was always overpowered by the love of being there and realizing what a huge step this is for all of us."

We can't wait to see the Beast Morphers team and the original Red Ranger grace the same screen so here's hoping we find out more details about it soon.

Beast Morphers stars Rorrie D. Travis (Devon/Red), Jacqueline Scislowski (Zoey/Yellow), Jasmeet Baduwalia (Ravi/Blue), Abraham Rodriguez (Nate), Liana Ramirez (Roxy), Colby Strong (Blaze), Cosme Flores (Ben), Kristina Ho (Betty), Kevin Copeland (Mayor Daniels), and James Gordon (Handyman), and you can check out the official description for Power Rangers Beast Morphers below.
