Production

On December 18, 2019, Netflix announced two new Masters of the Universe projects to be in development: an adult-oriented anime series described as a direct sequel to the 1983 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe television series, and a CGI series aimed at children.

In May 2019, Kevin Smith officially announced the series, titled Masters of the Universe: Revelation, at the annual Power-Con convention in 2019, and that he would serve as showrunner and executive producer, writing for the series alongside Eric Carrasco, Tim Sheridan, Diya Mishra, and Fatman Beyond co-host Marc Bernardin.

During promotion for the show, Smith stated that Revelation came to be out of a desire to tell a story set in the world of Eternia, while also being able to resolve any lingering plot threads from the original series. He also said that the show is set up as if it were the next episode of the original series, while also still being accessible to those who have never seen the original show. In November 2019, Noelle Stevenson expressed interest in a potential crossover Christmas special between the series and her 2018–20 Netflix original series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power despite this being a sequel to the original series and a non-DreamWorks cartoon.

Release Date

Masters of the Universe: Revelation is set to release in two parts, with the five-episode first part expected to debut on July 23, 2021.
