The initial announcement for the sequel series was made during Netflix's Geeked Week 2022.
Rob David, executive producer and Mattel vice president recently said of the series: "We’ve been building to this ultimate battle [between He-Man and Skeletor].
"Their battle, especially in Revolution, encapsulates every theme of Masters of the Universe: magic vs technology, good vs evil, self-empowerment vs duty to others. It’s all there in every punch."
Masters of the Universe: Revolution cast – Who's returning?
Typically, you would expect most of the voice cast of a sequel series to stay the same, and to an extent that's true - we have Chris Wood returning as He-Man, as well as Mark Hamill returning as Skeletor.
However, there are some changes and newcomers, with William Shatner being cast in an as-yet undisclosed role, Meg Foster cast as new character Motherboard, the ancient sorceress of technology, and Keith David cast as Hordak, leader of the Evil horde.
This actually marks a return for Foster to the He-Man universe, having originally played Evil-Lyn in the 1987 live-action version.
Meanwhile, Melissa Benoist is taking over Sarah Michelle Gellar's role as Teela in the sequel series, while Diedrich Bader, Liam Cunningham, Lena Headey, Griffin Newman, Tiffany Smith, Tony Todd will be returning, having starred in Revelation.
What's the plot of Masters of the Universe: Revolution?
Masters of the Universe: Revolution is picking up just after the 2021 series, exploring the climatic conflicts surrounding He-Man and Skeletor's continuing rivalry for rulership over Eternia, with Meg Foster's Motherboard one of the latest creations by Hordak, who He-Man fans will know from the original 1980s She-Ra animated series.
The official synopsis for the series says: "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 mechanised 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!"
