Netflix has finally set a release date for the new CG-animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
A reboot of the 1980s animated series of the same name, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe will officially hit the streaming service on September 16th. Co-produced by Mattel Television, the reboot will feature new storylines and character takes, and shouldn’t be confused with the Kevin Smith-created Masters of the Universe: Revelation animated series, which has already premiered on Netflix last July.
Set on the planet of Eternia, the new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe follows a young lost prince who discovers the powers of Grayskull and transforms into He-Man, the Master of the Universe. The reboot brings the classic battle between He-Man and evil Skeletor to new heights as both hero and villain forge new and mighty teams.
