What will the new series be about?
After a dramatic battle between He-Man and Skeleton, Eternia is shattered and the Guardians of Grayskull are dispersed. Teela must reunite the wrecked team of heroes and solve the mystery of the lost Sword of Power to restore Eternia and prevent the end of the universe.
Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we can see the first look at Eterni’s defenders, but also in what style the animation will be maintained.
The He-Man universe has been experiencing quite a renaissance recently, mainly due to another animated series called She-Ra and the Princess of Power , set in this world.
Netflix prepared fans of the series for the continuation by recalling all previous episodes with Adam and the company broadcast in 1983-85 in the refreshed version of the He-Man and the masters of the Universe series . Thanks to this, viewers could, in a way, prepare for new episodes, continuing the threads of the original.
The producers of this version of the story about the kingdom of Eternia are Adam Bonnett ( Descendants series ) , Christopher Keenan ( Justice League ), Jeff Matsuda ( The Batman ), Susan Corbin ( Voltron ), Bryan Q Miller ( Arrow ) and Rob David, who also produces Masters of the Universe: Revelation . This should not be particularly surprising. After all, David is also the vice president of Mattel, which has made toys that inspire animation for decades, and the author of the comic book He-Man: The Eternity War . We can expect that with the arrival of the new series, Mattel, as in previous years, will release a series of toys with He-Man and the company.
It is worth recalling that He-Man has already returned to the screens four times, after broadcasting 130 episodes of the original series. New animated versions were created in 1990 and 2002. In 1987, however, we got an acting version of the hero’s adventures, with Dolph Lundgren in the lead role. In 2019, Netflix viewers witnessed another reebot of the He-Man and the masters of the Universe series .
Masters of the Universe: Revelation arrives on July 23 on Netflix.
