Netflix and Mattel have dropped a taste of the supercharged ’80s throwback action awaiting viewers in Masters of the Universe: Revolution, the second chapter in executive producer Kevin Smith’s revival of the popular toy and toon franchise.
In addition to the official trailer and key art release, fans learned that Star Trek‘s Q, John De Lancie, will be joining the cast to voice the character Granamyr.
Revolution (5 x 25′) debuts on Netflix on January 25.
Synopsis: It’s technology versus magic when He-Man and the heroic warriors face the forces of Skeletor and something more in Masters of the Universe: Revolution — the new epic chapter in the battle for Castle Grayskull!
The newly mechanized Skeletor, armed with the might of Motherboard, attacks the heart of Eternia while Prince Adam grapples with a new responsibility and what that means for him as He-Man! Adam is forced to choose between the scepter or the sword, and a life as either the King or the Champion! Meanwhile, the new Sorceress Teela searches for the secret of Snake Magic in the mists of Darksmoke to rebuild a magic realm and help He-Man hold off the greatest threat Eternia has ever faced: the return of the despot Hordak, the ruthless leader of the Horde Empire!
Masters of the Universe: Revolution is executive produced by Kevin Smith, Ted Biaselli, Rob David, Christopher Keenan and Frederic Soulie. The show features music by Sparks & Shadows with themes by Bear McCreary. Animation is provided by Powerhouse Animation Studios (Castlevania).
