Eternia is alive and well over on Amazon — or at least it certainly seems that path . Just as thing continue to move forward on along - delay live - actionfilm version ofMasters of the Universe , there ’s now been an update on alive - actionShe - Rashow you in all likelihood forgot was happening in the first berth .
Varietyreports that Amazon has hired author Heidi Schreck(Billions , Nurse Jackie)to write and executive produce a live - actionShe - Rashow . News of the showfirst broke in 2021 , which also has Nicole Kassell(The Woodsman)attached to direct and executive garden truck along with Robin Sweet of DreamWorks Animation . That last one is likely because the last prison term audiences go steady She - Ra was on Netflix ’s revivify seriesShe - Ra and the Princesses of Power , which DreamWorks produced . This show has nothing to do with that one though . It ’s just the same fictitious character .
If the show comes to realisation , it ’ll be the first time anywhere fan have seen She - Ra in live - action mechanism . And it certainly is n’t a coincidence that this is happening as theater director Travis Knight(Bumblebee)continues work on a live - actionMasters of the Universemovie starringNicholas Galitzine and Camila Mendes . There ’s no indication there are plans for a crossover just yet but , nevertheless , it marks a significant investment funds into Mattel’sMasters of the Universeworld and it would certainly seem like a hypothesis if one or both are a hit .

Now , our skepticism here come fromyears and long time of start and stopson other versions ofMasters of the Universeadaptations . And while most of those were movies centered on He - Man , and this is a She - Ra TV show , the inability to get rolling in that mankind speak volumes . Both He - Man and She - Ra portion out a similar flavor that one can imagine is very difficult to peg down in live - military action . Do you take things 100 % seriously and , if so , how do you still make it stand aside fromGame of ThronesorLord of the Rings ? Or , do you lean into the animation and make it a morsel more fantastic ? A bit more playful ? Then , if you do that , what does that search like ? No matter what it look like though , it ’s expensive . The training , the costume , the sets , the animate being , etc . No wonder both properties have picture their biggest succeeder in vitality .
But at this point , especially with He - Man and now more likely with She - Ra , they ’re add up . And hiring a writer like Schreck , who wrote and starred in a play that was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize(What the Constitution Means to Me)certainly shows a loyalty to timber . allow ’s all cross our Grayskulls that it works out .
