Kevin Smith is bringing back He-Man as an animated series on Netflix. 

Smith had some big news for the audience at Sunday’s annual Power-Con convention announcing that he is developing a new series titled Masters of the Universe: Revelation. According to Entertainment Weekly, the series will focus on the unresolved storylines of the classic ’80s era. 

“I’m Eternia-ly grateful to Mattel TV and Netflix for entrusting me with not only the secrets of Grayskull, but also their entire Universe,” Smith said. “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! Brought to life with the most metal character designs Powerhouse Animation can contain in the frame, this is the Masters of the Universe story you always wanted to see as a kid!”

Smith will serve as showrunner and executive producer of the series.
