Netflix and Mattel Television are producing a new original animated adventure series of “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.”
The CG-animated series will reimagine the Masters of the Universe classic tale with new storylines and a fresh take on the iconic characters. This marks the second collaboration between Netflix and Mattel Television, joining the previously announced 2D anime series “Masters of the Universe: Revelation” with Kevin Smith.
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.

“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,” said Fred Soulie, SVP of content distribution and business development, Mattel. “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.”
Mattel’s reboot of the classic Masters of the Universe franchise also includes a comic book series by DC Comics (available now), reimagined versions of the 80s toys (hitting retail shelves in the fall of 2020) and a feature film.
