I am beyond excited to see that DreamWorks Animation and Netflix are reviving She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. When I was a kid I loved watching He-Man and when his twin sister who grew up on another planet was brought into her own series I was thrilled to see more female characters. Probably because I always thought Teela needed a friend. Seeing that this new series is being created gives me hope that at some point they may make a He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series that is introduced through this new series, almost the reverse of how She-Ra was introduced in the 80’s. Below is a full description of the series and more images.
DreamWorks Animation Television and Netflix Reveal She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, set for November 16
Executive produced by Noelle Stevenson and Chuck Austen, the series stars Aimee Carrero, Karen Fukuhara, Marcus Scribner, AJ Michalka, Lorraine Toussaint, Lauren Ash, Sandra Oh and more
DreamWorks Animation Television and Netflix today unveiled a first look of the highly-anticipated Netflix original series She-Ra and the Princess of Power, as well as the fall premiere date of November 16.
The images reveal several main characters from the upcoming series, including Adora and the titular She-Ra voiced by Aimee Carrero (Elena of Avalor), Glimmer voiced by Karen Fukuhara (Suicide Squad), Bow voiced by Marcus Scribner (black-ish), and Catra voiced by AJ Michalka (The Goldbergs). Another image reveals Bright Moon Castle, the capital of Etheria and home-base to the Rebellion.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is the story of an orphan named Adora (Carrero), who leaves behind her former life in the evil Horde when she discovers a magic sword that transforms her into the mythical warrior princess She-Ra. Along the way, she finds a new family in the Rebellion as she unites a group of magical princesses in the ultimate fight against evil.
From Eisner Award-winning author and executive producer Noelle Stevenson (Lumberjanes, Nimona) and executive producer Chuck Austen (Dawn of the Croods, Steven Universe) comes a modern take on the ‘80s girl power icon for a new generation of young fans.
