Kevin Smith has teamed up with Netflix on a new anime He-Man series.
Smith surprised audiences with news of the new series at Sunday’s annual Power-Con convention. Smith will serve as showrunner and executive producer on the series titled Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
“I’m Eternia-ly grateful to Mattel TV and Netflix for entrusting me with not only the secrets of Grayskull, but also their entire Universe,” Smith said.
“In Revelation, we pick up right where the classic era left off to tell an epic tale of what may be the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor! Brought to life with the most metal character designs Powerhouse Animation can contain in the frame, this is the Masters of the Universe story you always wanted to see as a kid!”
“Masters of the Universe has been a cultural phenomenon for generations, inspiring fans to discover their own power within,” Rob David, the vice president of Mattel TV and author of He-Man: the Eternity War said.
“Fans of this franchise have been waiting for the continuation of these characters, and Kevin Smith, as a Masters superfan himself, is the perfect champion and partner to expand the canon through a dynamic animated series on Netflix.”
