Masters of The Universe
Masters of the Universe is a fantasy media franchise created by Mattel. In 1981 Mattel debuted an action-figure toy line called “Masters of The Universe” that spawned an animated series, spin-offs, reboots, comic books, live-action films, and much more. The original storyline revolved around the conflict between He-Man (who was secretly Prince Adam of Eternia) against Skeletor on the planet Eternia. Its follow-up series She-Ra: Princess of Power revolved around He-Man’s sister She-Ra and her rebellion against The Horde on the planet Etheria.

Kevin Smith on growing up with MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE:
Kevin Smith, a well known and well-known member of the geek community worked as Showrunner and Executive Producer on this series.
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 affection for this world at every level of production and the fandom surrounding this franchise. 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.
