Kevin Smith Will Produce a Masters of the Universe Sequel Series

Back in 1982, Filmation debuted He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, an animated series based upon Mattel’s He-Man action figures. While the series ended in 1988, it never had a true series finale. But thanks to Netflix, the original Masters of the Universe is getting an old school comeback!

At Power-Con 2019, filmmaker Kevin Smith announced that he’s executive producing Masters of the Universe: Revelation. Smith will also be the showrunner, while Powerhouse (Netflix’s Castlevania series) will provide the animation. According to Smith, the series will be the direct sequel to Filmation’s Masters of the Universe.
