"In Revelation, we pick up right where the classic era left off to tell an epic tale of what may be the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor! This is the Masters of the Universe story you always wanted to see as a kid!"

"The war for Eternia begins again! Superstar director Kevin Smith continues the original series' story right where it left off in Masters of the Universe: Revelation, a new series telling the epic tale of what may be He-Man and Skeletor's final battle," Netflix tweeted on Sunday.

First appearing on television screens in 1983, the animated show centred on He-Man whose true identity was Prince Adam of Eternia. The show lasted for two seasons of 65 episodes each.
