Netflix dropped the teaser trailer for Masters of the Universe during their Geeked Week event.

What is the plot of Masters of the Universe: Revelation?

A synopsis for the series has been released:

A radical return to Eternia, Revelation is a direct sequel series to the classic era of Masters of the Universe. Featuring fan-favorites He-Man, Orko, Cringer and Man-At-Arms, the story pits our heroic warriors and guardians of Castle Grayskull against Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, Beast Man and the vile legions of snake mountain!

But after a ferocious final battle forever fractures Eternia, it’s up to Teela to solve the mystery of the missing Sword of Power in a race against time to prevent the end of the Universe! Her journey will uncover the secrets of Grayskull at last. This is the epic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe saga fans have waited 35 years to see!

Some fans have shown some concern that He-Man is taking a back seat as the main character. While the character of Teela may be the one to take center stage, ultimately it is He-Man that will defeat Skeletor in an epic “final battle” for the future of Eternia.

What is the production status of Masters of the Universe: Revelation?

Current Production Status: Animating (Last Updated 20/07/2020)

As we mentioned earlier, Kevin Smith was recently in an interview on Gary Whitta’s YouTube channel, and confirmed he has seen “five animatics so far.”

An animatic is a rough or simple draft for a film or sequence using storyboards accompanied by a temporary soundtrack, such as music, voice work, or sound effects.

 

Recording for the first episode began in November 2019:

At the time of this update, it’s more than likely the recording has concluded, which just leaves the animators at Powerhouse to work their magic.


What is the episode count?

IMDb has listed the total episode count at eight.

Runtimes haven’t been confirmed for any of the episodes listed.


Has Netflix released a trailer for Masters of the Universe: Revelation?

It’s going to be a long time before we see the release of a trailer. Hopefully, a teaser trailer will drop in the coming months.


Is the new He-Man film a Netflix Original?

Despite the fact that Netflix alumni, Noah Centineo (Perfect Date, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), has been cast as He-Man, the live-action adaptation of the beloved 80s series is not an Original.

Sony is the developer behind the reboot and will come to theatres worldwide. Masters of the Universe was originally scheduled to be released in 2019 but has been pushed back to March 2021.
