Netflix is headed back to Eternia to explore the world and the lives of its inhabitants, and no, we're not talking about the Masters of the Universe: Revelation series of which Kevin Smith is the showrunner. Mattel TV and Netflix have announced another new series titled He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

A new CG animated series will be hitting the streaming service in the near future. The official synopsis for the series reads, "On the planet of Eternia, a young lost prince discovers the powers of Grayskull and transforms into He-Man, Master of the Universe! The classic battle between He-Man and evil Skeletor rages to new heights as both hero and villain forge new and mighty teams. A new generation of heroes fighting for the fate of us all. In the end, who will become Master of the Universe?"

A new poster for the upcoming series was released, which you can check out below. It features the titular character holding up the Power Sword, completing his transformation from Prince Adam to the ever-powerful He-Man.

"Masters of the Universe is one of the most iconic global franchises of all time, with a 30-year history and a passionate fan base," explained Mattel's senior vice president of content distribution and business development Fred Soulie. "The entire team at Mattel is excited to introduce the world of He-Man to a new generation and, together with the talented team at Netflix, to reimagine the classic characters in a way that appeals to kids and families today, while also resonating with the fans who grew up with them."

The newly-announced CG series will be executive produced by Adam Bonnett (Descendants), Christopher Keenan (Justice League, Batman Beyond), and Rob David (Masters of the Universe: Revelation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Jeff Matsuda (The Batman, TMNT) and Susan Corbin (Voltron) will also serve as produces for the series, while animation will be provided by House of Cool and CGCG (Trollhunters).

The new Masters of the Universe series is separate from the 2D anime series produced by Kevin Smith as well as the possible feature-length movie also rumored to be coming to Netflix as well.
