Written by Back in September 2021, we learned the thrilling news that a She-Ra Live-Action Series was in the works at Amazon Studios.
Then in May 2022, it still felt like the She-Ra series was moving along when it was reported that Nicole Kassell was tapped to executive produce and direct the pilot episode. But then, this story went cold, leaving fans wondering if a pilot episode was ever filmed… and will a She-Ra live-action series ever see the light of day.
Well now, October 2024 we finally have a new update. Variety is reporting that Heidi Schreck (best known for her writing on other series like “Billions” and “The Good Wife”) has joined the project as a writer and an executive producer.
Per Variety:
"The live-action “She-Ra” series in development at Amazon MGM Studios has found its writer. "Variety has learned exclusively that Heidi Schreck has joined the project as writer and executive producer. It was previously reported that Nicole Kassell is attached to direct and executive produce. Robin Sweet will also executive produce, along with DreamWorks Animation."
For anyone wondering if the new live action series in development will be connected to the 2018 Netflix series “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power“, it will not, but rather be a standalone series.
Again, per Variety:
"DreamWorks recently produced the Netflix animated series “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.” However, the live-action version will be a new, standalone story and will not be connected to the animated show. Amazon MGM Studios will produce"
The She-Ra live-action series still lives Masters of the Universe fans! It is time to celebrate!
We’ll see you next time!
I so hope the MOTU and POP movies are done great! Can’t wait to watch with my kiddos!
@bearddadrip I will be watching this with my family too. Masters of the Universe revolution was a family event for us and we dressed up and had themed cupcakes. It was a great time and we will do the same for She-Ra when it comes out. I hope they will release the episodes all at once so we can make it a whole day event!
I am hopeful but cautious..
There are no story details not even a synopsis? I wonder what this is going to be like.
Will be hard to top She-Ra 2018, tough I am glad it was not flat out cancelled!
After all this time and they are hiring a writer now means they must have fired the first writer because what they had was crap.
That does not mean the new writer will be any better either. Case in point: Sony is forging ahead with the Masters of the Universe script that Netflix passed on. I do not have high hopes for this.
They’ll probably cast someone like Amy Shumer as She-Ra.
