Kevin Smith has announced that he is developing the new animated series “Masters of the Universe: Revelation” for Netflix. The series based on the 80’s cartoon is going to be based in a “Mattel toy inspired world and will focus on some of the unresolved storylines of the classic ‘80s show.”
Smith said:
“I’m Eternia-ly grateful to Mattel TV and Netflix for entrusting me with not only the secrets of Grayskull, but also their entire Universe. In ‘Revelation,’ we pick up right where the classic era left off to tell an epic tale of what may be the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor! Brought to life with the most metal character designs Powerhouse Animation can contain in the frame, this is the Masters of the Universe story you always wanted to see as a kid!”
Writers who are joining the series are Eric Carrasco (“Supergirl”), Tim Sheridan (“Reign of the Supermen”), Diya Mishra (“Magic the Gathering”) and Marc Bernardin (“Alphas”). Kevin Smith will be taking up the roles of both executive producer and showrunner.
As fans worldwide wait in anticipation for a new live-action film to finally happen, this announcement has made up for it knowing how great and creative Kevin Smith is.
