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…
We have the Power! 
I so hope the MOTU and POP movies are done great! Can't wait to watch with my kiddos!
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!
Masterverse wishlist:
Catra 2018 (season 4)
He-Man 2002 (Snake Armor)

She-Ra 2018 (season 5)
Skeletor 2002
@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!
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.
Ugh with the negativity and the “oh no, women!”🙄
We know literally nothing about this yet.
If they manage to pull it off, I’ll watch it!
The more MOTU and PoP, the more better!
Some of us are familiar with the treatment that Netflix passed on, which is what Amazon picked up. So unless the change in writer includes a completely new treatment, it is not good news. More is not better if it is Riverdale.
I mean, what do I know, but She-Ra would be lucky if it becomes as successful as Riverdale. But yeah, familiar chorus, “if it’s not for me and middle aged dudes, it should not exist!” Never mind She-Ra was invented for girls.
Glad it's still being developed, bummed that it probably won't be something that sees the light of day until like 2026 or 2027. None of us are getting any younger and these developing live-action projects are taking an eternity.

Not much, apparently.
I proudly walked the Barbie aisle of Toys 'R' Us to purchase every Princess of Power doll, fashion, and playset in the 1980s. That it is marketed toward girls has never been a problem for me. So your "middle-aged dudes" card is declined, along with any other rhetorical straw men you may be shopping today or any other day.
The issue is not with Princess of Power being as successful as Riverdale, it is with it literally being reimagined as a teenage drama set in an American high school like Riverdale.
This is being reported as a "She-Ra" series, because of the brand recognition, but the actual series does not have She-Ra in it. It is about Adora trying to navigate high school while being distracted by mysterious dreams that she used to be a heroine in another life.
So no, an Adora series that is "She-Ra" in name only should not exist. I hope this helps.
Reading over her Wiki just leaves me with a massive "why?" questionmark. She does not strike me as someone that cares for the MOTU/POP universe or even knows of it besides recognizable names in pop-culture.
Anyway, I hope I can say "what a great show" when it starts airing.
Yeah, this is going to be legit terrible based on what I'm seeing in the comments above. Oh well, easy skip - there's plenty of other stuff to watch instead.
And no, more MOTU and POP is NOT always a good thing if the quality is trash.

I think most people assume it is going to be a straightforward adapatation that faithfully recreates the animated series in live action, but that is not the case. It is not Game of Thrones or House of Dragons, but Riverdale or The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Netflix, who accepted the treatment for the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power animated series, rejected this treatment for the live action series, because executives did not think that it reflected a She-Ra series that would meet the expectations of fans or that anyone would actually want.
NBCUniversal has a reductive view of the property: the original was marketed toward girls in the 1980s, and girls today like Riverdale, so how do we make She-Ra like Riverdale to ape its success? And Amazon is desperate for a fantasy franchise, so they will buy any established intellectual property that does not already belong to Disney or Warner Bros.
This thing is being created by people who do not care about She-Ra, and who do not believe in She-Ra. That is why they want to change it to be like something else that is currently popular. It is just an established intellectual property they can commercially exploit.

Faithful adaption of characters looks and personalities; probably a few modern touches here and there. I do not think anyone really expects a episodic old cartoon to live action adaption. The old show could be a treasure trove of ideas and story hooks to expand upon for new ideas or maybe some barely touched old ones to dive deeper into. If they don't care ppl will see it, ppl will feel it. And it will be as commercially exploitable as all the other soul less piggy back hip shots they did previously. They already have at least two build in fanbases that already have the eyes on them and hope for something good. With some real talented writer that knows and cares for the complete universe they might even be able to grab both. But looking at their other fantasy flagship money sink atomic furnance I am very, very careful with the amount of hope I put into it.
