When the live-action adaptation was announced in 2021, Amazon billed it with the following description, “An epic fantasy series about an orphaned young woman who leads a revolution to save her planet from annihilation.” While casting details and a release window remain a mystery for the live-action series, it has been announced that Heidi Schreck will both write and executive produce the upcoming show. If you’re unfamiliar with Schreck’s past works, she previously had a hand in creating series such as Billions and Nurse Jackie, while also starring and writing for the stage play, “What The Consitution Means To Me“.
She-Ra Will Return
It should come as no surprise that She-Ra is getting a live-action series considering the success that studios have seen thanks to some recent live-action adaptations. Netflix’s One Piece continues to be a juggernaut for the streaming service, along with Avatar: The Last Airbender. With Amazon MGM moving forward on Masters of The Universe, the upcoming live-action He-Man film, the likes of Nicholas Galitzine and Allison Brie has been cast as Prince Adam and Evil-Lynn respectively. Directed by Travis Knight, Bumblebee and Kubo And The Two Strings, Amazon appears to be all-in on Eternia.
This upcoming She-Ra series would be the first time that Adora has been brought to live action. While the 1987 Masters of The Universe live-action movie had the likes of Prince Adam, Skeletor, and many other combatants fighting for Castle Greyskull, She-Ra was not a part of the proceeding. While this upcoming series will focus on the Princess of Power, don’t expect it to be a continuation of the popular Netflix series.
She-Ra’s Revolution
In the latest Netflix animated series focusing on He-Man and company, Masters of The Universe: Revolution, a post-credit scene hinted at the arrival of She-Ra albeit a very different iteration of the Princess of Power. Introducing Despera in its final moments, a servant of Hordak, long-time He-Man fans know that the masked combatant is none other than a brainwashed She-Ra. Unfortunately, there has been no word on the latest Eternia animated series returning for a new season though should it make a comeback, we would imagine that this plotline would play a major role in it.
Should Amazon MGM release both the Masters of the Universe and the She-Ra live-action projects, expecting a crossover between the two wouldn’t be outside of the realm of popularity. Now whether this crossover will arrive as a television series or a movie is anyone’s guess should Prince Adam and Adora meet once again.
