He-Man and the Masters of the Universe became a hit in 1983 when it first aired in America. It was produced by Filmation, which based the series on Mattel's mythical toy line, Masters of the Universe. This made He-Man one of the most iconic animated shows from the 1980s.
At Power-Con in 2019, Netflix announced a soft-reboot of the series with filmmaker and comic aficionado Kevin Smith (of CW's Flash fame) at the helm. Masters of the Universe: Revelation continued the story of the original series and explored Skeletor (voiced by the iconic Mark Hamill) getting the Power-Sword.
Meanwhile, the 1990 series, The New Adventures of He-Man, was left out of the canon.
After Masters of the Universe: Revelation, released on July 23, 2021, Netflix is ready to revive the old series of the same name, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
While Revelations was a darker take on the source material, the upcoming animated series will be a family-friendly take.
