Kevin Smith Teams With Netflix for Anime He-Man Sequel Series
Filmmaker Kevin Smith is helming a new anime series for Netflix called Masters of the Universe: Revelation, which continues the storyline of the classic 1980s cartoon.
Netflix partners with filmmaker Kevin Smith to create a new anime series called Masters of the Universe: Revelation. Smith serves as the showrunner and executive producer for the project, which he announces at the annual Power-Con convention. Rather than rebooting the franchise, this limited series continues directly from the ending of the classic 1980s animated cartoon.
The story focuses on unresolved plotlines from the original show and features many familiar characters. Smith teases that the series showcases the ultimate final battle between He-Man and his arch-nemesis Skeletor, fulfilling the fantasy of fans who grew up watching the beloved program.
Mattel Television produces the series alongside Powerhouse Animation, the same studio responsible for Netflix's successful Castlevania adaptation. While Smith promises an epic experience that captures the essence of what fans always wanted to see as kids, Netflix keeps viewers waiting by withholding an official premiere date for the highly anticipated show.
