The show premiered on March 8, 2020,[1][2][3] joining Kamen Rider Zero-One, and later, Kamen Rider Saber in the Super Hero Time line-up on TV Asahi affiliate stations. After its finale in 2021, it was succeeded by Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger.[4]
After planet Crystaria is invaded, Princess Mabushina takes the Kiramai Stones and seeks refuge on Earth to find individuals with strong "shining spirits", or Kiramental, to become the Kiramagers and fight off the threat of Yodonheim, an imperial army of darkness that now plans to invade Earth.[1][2][3][5]
With help from Muryo Hakataminami, the founder of CARAT, a private organization created in preparation for Yodonheim's attack, Mabushina meets the passionate artist Juru Atsuta, the esports professional Tametomo Imizu, the prodigy athlete Sena Hayami, the famous actor Shiguru Oshikiri, and the talented surgeon Sayo Oharu, who accept the duty to protect Earth as the Kiramagers. The team later gains a sixth member: the treasure hunter Takamichi Crystaria, Muryo's long-lost older brother who was adopted into Mabushina's family after he became a human/Crystarian hybrid.

Mashin Sentai Kiramager was trademarked in September and officially announced on Christmas Day, 2019.[1][2][3] The main cast was officially revealed on January 16, 2020.
On March 31, 2020, a press conference held by TV Asahi revealed that Rio Komiya, the actor playing Juru Atsuta, had tested positive for COVID-19.[6][7] The production of Mashin Sentai Kiramager had stopped since the previous week. However, Toei announced that they had episodes filmed until May.[8][9]
News also came out that Toei Studios shut down for disinfection in response. However, on April 3, Toei released a statement saying it was false, calling it misinformation.[10] As of April 5, Komiya's health was improving and all of the series' staff, cast, and the veteran Super Sentai actors and actresses who supported his recovery were waiting for his speedy recovery and return to the set so they could continue filming.[11] On April 9, Komiya had announced via his Twitter that he was officially discharged from the hospital, however, he would still remain in self-quarantine at home for at least two weeks.[12]
The show was eventually put on hiatus after the airing of Episode 10 on May 10, with four specials and a televised version of Episode Zero airing in its place. With the state of emergency lifted on May 26, Toei resumed filming of the show on June 1, with Episode 11 airing on June 21.[13] In regards to the summer movie, it was postponed alongside Kamen Rider Zero-One the Movie: Real×Time.[14]

However, both were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] On August 30, 2020, it was announced that the film was rescheduled for release in Spring 2021.[16] On December 6, 2020, it was announced that the film was released on February 20, 2021 as part of Super Sentai Movie Ranger 2021 (スーパー戦隊MOVIEレンジャー2021, Sūpā Sentai Mūbī Renjā Nisen-nijū-ichi) alongside Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger Special: Memory of Soulmates and Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger the Movie: Red Battle!
