Preston Praxton (voiced by Dan Russell) is the Rangers' main antagonist. An entrepreneur obsessed with money, he schemes with no regard for any environmental impact, causing the Rangers to try and stop him. He has an endless supply of booby traps to keep the Rangers from interfering with his business, though the Rangers have been able to talk him into environmentally friendly solutions with business propositions (or if Patty sides with the Rangers).
Patty Praxton (voiced by Zehra Jane Naqvi) is Preston's daughter, and while she does take after her money-loving father, she often serves as his voice of reason and is on friendlier terms with the Rangers.
Priscilla Praxton (voiced by Dan Russell) debuts in season 2 as Preston's sister and Patty's aunt, who often competes with him to win Patty's affection and take down the Rangers. She tends to have more feminine schemes such as creating luxury makeup lines or creating glass from sand.

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. The show premiered on the Nick Jr. Channel on November 5, 2018.
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.
Nickelodeon has gained broadcast rights in the United States and Caribbean Basin regions. On April 23, 2019, it was announced that Nickelodeon would also be bringing the show to Latin America.
When the COVID-19 pandemic began to take effect, a special episode of the show was commissioned, "Bunny-20," that streamed online on December 18, 2020, with Pierce Brosnan as a guest voice actor. The episode's goal was to teach young children about ways to keep safe during the pandemic and make it understandable to viewers.
In 2021, the series was streamed on Netflix in late June/early July, though the episodes are shown in production order instead of broadcast order.
