Netflix and Mattell are already working on a companion piece to the previously announced Kevin Smith-fronted 2D anime series Masters of the Universe: Revelation with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, an original CG animated adventure series that will reimagine the popular toy-based franchise with a fresh take on its fantasy heroes, says Deadline.
Here are the details, which sound more like a generic sell for the original action figures:
“On the planet of Eternia, a young lost prince discovers the powers of Grayskull and transforms into He-Man, Master of the Universe!
“The classic battle between He-Man and evil Skeletor rages to new heights as both hero and villain forge new and mighty teams. A new generation of heroes fighting for the fate of us all. In the end, who will become Master of the Universe?”
If you’re curious, animation services are being provided by House of Cool and CGCG (Trollhunters; pictured below).

The series is being produced by Mattel Television with Adam Bonnett (Descendants), Christopher Keenan (Justice League, Batman Beyond), and Rob David (Masters of the Universe: Revelation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) serving as executive producers. The series was developed for television by Rob David.
Emmy-winning producer and designer Jeff Matsuda (The Batman, TMNT) and Susan Corbin (Voltron) will also produce. Bryan Q Miller (Arrow, Smallville, Sleepy Hollow) will serve as story editor on the series.
Here’s the teaser art for the series that will bring He-Man to a new generation of children.
