Netflix and ‘Lumberjanes’ creator teaming up for ‘She-Ra’ reboot for the honor of Grayskull!
I never really fucked with She-Ra back in the day. But, I never really fucked with Voltron prior to its Netflix reboot. So, I’m going to get stoked that none other than the Lumberjanes writer resurrecting the property for the streaming service.
CBR:
She-Ra, Princess of Power, a spinoff from the ’80s toy-driven franchise He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, will get a Netflix reboot and makeover courtesy of Lumberjanes writer Noelle Stevenson, EW reports.
The series, now titled She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, sounds like it will regularly feature more than just one heroine at its center.
“I was always looking for the female characters in sci-fi and fantasy who were more than just the girlfriend,” Sevenson told EW. “I love the female characters in She–Ra. There isn’t another show quite like it.”
She-Ra debuted in 1985, before Stevenson was born, so she was not a fan during its original run for…well, let’s say logistical reasons.
The series will feature the voices of Aimee Carrero (Young & Hungry) as Princess Adora and her heroic alter-ego She-Ra; Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy) as Castaspella, Lorraine Toussaint (Orange is the New Black) as Shadow Weaver, Marcus Scribner (black-ish) as Bow, and Jordan Fisher (Dancing With the Stars) as Seahawk.
