Around the time that Netflix announced that Kevin Smith was developing a He-Man series that would complete the story from the classic ’80s cartoon, the streaming giant also teased that an all-new He-Man series was in the works. Well, apparently, Netflix wasn’t messing around because the trailer is already here.
Titled He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the new series is markedly different from Smith’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation. While Revelation utilizes hand-drawn animated similar to Netflix’s Voltron: Legendary Defender reboot, the new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series is a CG animated series that skews close to Trollhunters in both look and feel.
Here’s the official synopsis:
On Eternia, the first planet of creation, a demonic tyrant rises: Skeletor! With dark armies at his command, Skeletor is on the march, hell-bent on capturing Eternia’s kingdoms, and its ultimate prize – Castle Grayskull, the ancient fortress of mystery said to contain the greatest power in the universe. It’s up to He-Man and his brave squad of rookie heroes to stop Skeletor and restore the peace. Both sides come armed with enchanted Power Weapons – transforming them into Masters of the Primal Powers of the Universe. It’s Master vs. Dark Master, He-Man vs. Skeletor – fighting for control of Eternia, Castle Grayskull, and the fate of us all. In the end, who will become MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE?
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe starts streaming September 16 on Netflix.
