Netflix and Mattel Television are partnering for a CG-animated He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series. This marks the second He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series to land at the streaming service, after the previously announced 2D anime series, Masters of the Universe: Revelation by Kevin Smith.

“Masters of the Universe is one of the most iconic global franchises of all time, with a 30-year history and a passionate fan base,” Mattel’s Senior VP of Content Distribution and Business Development, Fred Soulie, said in a statement. “The entire team at Mattel is excited to introduce the world of He-Man to a new generation and, together with the talented team at Netflix, to reimagine the classic characters in a way that appeals to kids and families today, while also resonating with the fans who grew up with them.”

The logline of the series reads,

On the planet of Eternia, a young lost prince discovers the powers of Grayskull and transforms into He-Man, Master of the Universe! The classic battle between He-Man and evil Skeletor rages to new heights as both hero and villain forge new and mighty teams. A new generation of heroes fighting for the fate of us all. In the end, who will become MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE?

Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation was announced in August and will pick up where the original Masters of the Universe cartoon left off, whereas the upcoming He-Man and the Masters of the Universe will reimagine the classic tale with all-new stories and a fresh take on the iconic characters.
