Netflix He Man and The Master Of The Universe Revelation
6Netflix and Mattel Television have released first-look photos as well as an official release date for their highly-anticipated new animated series, Masters of the Universe: Revelation. This announcement came in tandem with the confirmation that Mattel would be unveiling a brand-new Masterverse™ toy line.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation will be a direct sequel to the 1983 series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Directed by Kevin Smith, and animated by Powerhouse Animation Studios, who have previously worked on Netflix's Castlevania, Revelation will be an adult take on these characters. This expansive series will include characters that only appeared in Mattel toys and comics. The series is just one of two He-Man series in development at Netflix.
Narratively the show is set up as the next episode in the legacy ‘80s animated series that aired from 1983-1985. This is a continuation of that story. We're playing with the original mythology and characters, and revisiting and digging deeper into some of the unresolved storylines. Visually we also made the conscious decision to lean into the MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE line of toys for inspiration as well. Mattel owns this entire vast library of that artwork, so right away we wanted the show to open with classic pieces of that artwork. Mattel has been committed to this look since they first started as a toy line in the '80s, and now we’re leaning into it and honoring it.
