The driving theme of 2021's Masters of the Universe: Revelation, Kevin Smith's reimagination (and continuation) of the 1980s He-Man animated series, was to return the magic to the planet Eternia. The follow-up series called Masters of the Universe: Revolution will now focus on the battle between magic and technology.

The 10-episode run of Masters of the Universe: Revelation ended with Motherboard coming to life and starting to assimilate Skeletor (voiced by Mark Hamill) while revealing itself to bear a Horde insignia. Netflix released the first teaser trailer for Masters of the Universe: Revolution, and it seems the series will pick up right where Revelation ended.

The trailer starts with a voiceover from Hordak (voiced by Keith David), Skeletor's old master and leader of an army of cyborgs, explaining that he has conquered 10.000 worlds and on each of them there was a hero who tried to defeat him but ultimately failed. The teaser also includes the cyborg version of Skeletor, proclaiming that it's time for a Revolution.

Netflix's official synopsis for Masters of the Universe: Revolution reads as follows:

"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 will premiere on January 25, 2024. Chris Wood will reprise his role as Pince Adam/He-Man, as will Mark Hamill. Melissa Benoist will replace Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela, and joining the cast is William Shatner in a yet unannounced role.
