Kevin Smith revealed the new teaser trailer for his upcoming MOTU revival, Masters of the Universe: Revelation. Smith is the showrunner and executive producer for the animated series, which will be available on Netflix. Part one is set to premiere on Friday, July 23, 2021.
Synopsis: The war for Eternia culminates in Masters of the Universe: Revelation, an innovative and action-packed animated series that picks up where the iconic characters left off decades ago. After a cataclysmic battle between He-Man and Skeletor, Eternia is fractured and the Guardians of Grayskull are scattered. And after decades of secrets tore them apart, it’s up to Teela to reunite the broken band of heroes, and solve the mystery of the missing Sword of Power in a race against time to restore Eternia and prevent the end of the universe.

Kevin Smith previously said in a statement via Netflix, “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 some of the unresolved storylines.
Visually we also made the conscious decision to lean into the 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.”
Masters of the Universe: Revelation is stacked with talent, including Mark Hamill as Skeletor, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela, Stephen Root as Cringer, Henry Rollins as Tri-Klops, original Skeletor Alan Oppenheimer as Moss Man, Alicia Silverstone as Queen Marlena, Justin Long as Roboto, Jason Mewes as Stinkor, Tony Todd as Scare Glow, and Kevin Conroy as Mer-Man.
