Netflix's 'Masters of the Universe' premieres July 23rd with action figures in tow

Netflix is finally close to releasing Kevin Smith's animated He-Man series, and it's largely the revival you'd expect — including the virtually obligatory toys. Masters of the Universe: Revelation is now set to premiere on July 23rd, and it'll offer a refreshed look that preserves the style of the 1980s show while providing a more "grounded and real" aesthetic. It's effectively the series you saw in your head as a child.



Smith also wasn't kidding when he talked about Revelation picking up where the original series left off, although it won't just be a simple continuation. It starts with a climactic fight that leaves the Guardians of Grayskull scattered to the winds, and the creators are promising that characters like He-Man, Teela and Orko will change over time. The show has grown up a bit over the years, in other words.

The cast is unsurprisingly well-known. Supergirl's Chris Wood plays He-Man. You can also expect Buffy's Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela, Game of Thrones' Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn, and Mark Hamill as Skeletor. And yes, the producers managed to rope in an original voice actor. Alan Oppenheimer, who voiced Skeletor and other characters in the first series, is coming back as Moss Man.
