With the second season of Netflix’s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe upon us, Mattel has released a recap for Season 1 to help get viewers up to speed.
The Season 1 recap video — which runs at just under seven minutes — was shared to the official Mattel Action YouTube channel. “Catch up on the full season 1 story of He-Man & The Masters of The Universe before Season 2 premieres worldwide on Netflix beginning Mar 3, 2022,” the video description reads.
Netflix’s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is a modern, CG-animated reimagining of the 1983-1985 animated series of the same name. It premiered the entirety of its 10-episode first season on Sept. 16, 2021. Season 2, meanwhile, consists of eight episodes. The Netflix show is actually the third animated series to be titled He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, with 2D-animated reboot having aired on Cartoon Network from 2002 to 2004.
Of course, this show isn’t Netflix’s first foray into the Masters of the Universe mythos. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power aired on Netflix for five seasons from 2018 to 2020. Netflix’s She-Ra was a modern reimagining of the 1985-1987 cartoon She-Ra: Princess of Power, which was itself a spinoff of the original He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
Speaking of the original He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, there’s also Netflix’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation, which serves as a direct sequel to the 1983 cartoon. Revelation‘s 10-episode first season was split into two five-episode parts. Part 1 dropped on July 23, 2021, with Part 2 following suit on Nov. 23, 2021. It remains to be seen if the show will return for additional episodes. However, whereas Revelation is aimed at adults, Netflix’s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe reboot is more family-oriented.
“In order to save Grayskull from destruction at the hands of Skeletor and his mind-controlled royal army, He-Man takes the castle to the distant safety of the aerial kingdom of Aviaon,” an official synopsis for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Season 2 reads. “There, brash braggadocio King Stratos believes he and he alone can lead the Masters to victory. Meanwhile, Teela, Ork-O, and King Randor rally a resistance against Lord Skeletor. But in order for Teela to gain any ground with her impending insurrection, she and her team will need to win over the king of ‘the world below,’ the multi-faceted Man-E-Faces.”
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Season 2 is streaming on Netflix now.
