The first look images for Masters of the Universe: Revelation have been revealed. Part 1 (5 episodes) for Masters of the Universe: Revelation will premiere on Friday, July 23, 2021.

On December 18, 2019, Netflix announced two new Masters of the Universe projects to be in development: an adult-oriented anime series described as a direct sequel to the 1983 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe television series, and a CGI series aimed at children.

In May 2019, Kevin Smith officially announced the series, titled Masters of the Universe: Revelation, at the annual Power-Con convention in 2019, and that he would serve as showrunner and executive producer, writing for the series alongside Eric Carrasco, Tim Sheridan, Diya Mishra, and Fatman Beyond co-host Marc Bernardin. On February 14, 2020, the full voice cast for the series was officially confirmed. Around the same time as the show’s announcement, it was revealed that Powerhouse Animation Studios would be providing their services to the series, taking inspiration from Japanese anime. On February 8, 2021, it was revealed that Bear McCreary would be composing the score to the series. On May 13, 2021, Entertainment Weekly released a first look of the series, along with confirming the show’s release date. That same day, it was also revealed that a line of action figures inspired by the show would also be released.

Kevin Smith on growing up with Masters of the universe:
“ I watched all of the TV series growing up, it was everywhere in the ‘80s. These characters started off as toys and ended up becoming part of the global pop culture fabric. So much of this show has been possible because of the love and fandom surrounding this franchise. There's just so much love and affection for this world at every level of production. A big reason we got such top tier voice talent is because people genuinely want to be a part of this world. So many of us were touched by these stories and these characters early in our lives and were so happy to come back to Eternia. But even if you’ve never watched a single episode of the show or don’t know this universe at all, you can jump right into the story. It’s a really classic, universal action-adventure epic about growth, discovery, magic, and power. This series explores destiny in a fresh way. There’s a lot of reconciling with secrets, betrayal, trust, acceptance, love, and ultimately, loss. ”

Kevin Smith on what fans can expect from the new series:
“Narratively our 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 those original, unresolved storylines from the original show. Visually we also made the conscious decision to lean into the original 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.”

Voice over cast includes: Mark Hamill (Skeletor), Lena Headey (Evil-Lyn), Chris Wood (Prince Adam / He-Man), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Teela ), Liam Cunningham (Man-At-Arms), Stephen Root (Cringer), Diedrich Bader (King Randor / Trap Jaw), Griffin Newman (Orko), Tiffany Smith (Andra), Henry Rollins (Tri-Klops), Alan Oppenheimer (Moss Man), Susan Eisenberg (Sorceress), Alicia Silverstone (Queen Marlena), Justin Long (Roboto), Jason Mewes (Stinkor), Phil LaMarr (He-Ro), Tony Todd (Scare Glow), Cree Summer (Priestess), Kevin Michael Richardson (Beast Man), Kevin Conroy (Mer-Man)
