He-man is back! Masters of the Universe: Revelation is set to premiere July 23, 2021. It will be a five-part first season that follows the aftermath of an epic battle between He-Man and Skeletor from the original 1980s series. Expectations are high given that Kevin Smith, a geek icon in his own right, is the show runner and executive producer for the updated Netflix series.
Kevin Smith explains the “why” of Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
“I watched all of the TV series growing up, it was everywhere in the ‘80s,” Smith says. “These characters started off as toys and ended up becoming part of the global pop culture fabric. So much of this show has been possible because of the love and fandom surrounding this franchise. There’s just so much love and affection for this world at every level of production. A big reason we got such top-tier voice talent is because people genuinely want to be a part of this world. So many of us were touched by these stories and these characters early in our lives and were so happy to come back to Eternia. But even if you’ve never watched a single episode of the show or don’t know this universe at all, you can jump right into the story. It’s a really classic, universal action-adventure epic about growth, discovery, magic, and power. This series explores destiny in a fresh way. There’s a lot of reconciling with secrets, betrayal, trust, acceptance, love, and ultimately, loss.”
The voice actors of Masters of the Universe: Revelation include Mark Hamill, Chris Wood, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lena Headey, Tiffany Smith, Henry Rollins, Griffin Newman, Jason Mewes, and Alan Oppenheimer (the original Skeletor).
Check out the action figures below. They are from Mattel’s collectible oriented line called Masterverse.
We can’t wait to see this series. Welcome back He-man!
