Back in September 2021, Variety first broke the news that made many Masters of the Universe fans very excited: A She-Ra Live-Action Series was in the works at Amazon Studios. First offered to Netflix (but the studio ultimately passed), this live-action production was revealed to be in early development at Amazon Studios and produced by…

As with anything Masters of the Universe live action related I will believe it when I see it.

Well it was not even begun, does that count as a She-Ra show getting cancelled or?

Yah good question cat. Maybe you can't cancel something you never fully committed to in the first place. Like you can't break up from a hookup.

Amazon likely passed for the same reason Netflix passed: the pitch is terrible. Amazon simply optioned it, because they were desperate for an established fantasy intellectual property they could adapt into a series, and it was available. They assigned one of their stable of directors of fantasy properties to it, and she has since moved on to other projects, which suggests this is dead in the water. I think that is a good thing, because the premise is about seven years too late, and it is nothing Princess of Power fans asked for or wanted. I think the treatment would actually make most people very unhappy, so I consider it a bullet dodged.
@adam_prince-of-eternia I agree. This might have been for the best.

I had forgotten there was supposed to be a live action She-Ra show coming. I am sure the writers and actors strike didn't help with this show possibly being made. Maybe it would have been good, maybe it would have not. If they ever do make one live action and are targeting us older fans I hope they listen to what we want out of this property and her brother's property.
The financial losses of Amazon's Rings of Power series may have also contributed to Amazon dropping the She-Ra series. Would they really want to invest in another big-budget fantasy series when the first one (based on a much better known and much more lucrative franchise) flopped?

It's difficult to make money on a thing when you spend $1B dollars on it.Â
And maybe don't pit it head to head with a similar fantasy show. Many people will feel the need to compare the two and pick sides.Â
I was very against watching it from the moment of the announcement because Thanksgiving watches of all 3 long versions of the originals, a couple years in a row, followed by the Hobit movies had me burnt out on LOTR.Â
But then I watched it when it finally dropped. Never liked GoT so I was never going to watch Dragons of GoT.

I still love The Hobbit, Lord Of The Rings and Rings Of Power. 😀Â
