First Poster Released For Netflix's SHE-RA AND THE PRINCESSES OF POWER and Full Cast and Character List
Earlier this year it was announced that Netflix would be developing a new animated series based on the classic 80s cartoon She-Ra. The new fantasy series will be called She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and today we have a piece of poster art to share with you along with the list of actors who have been cast to voice the series.
The series is being developed by Noelle Stevenson, who wasn't even born when the original series debuted in 1985. But, she still loves the characters and what they represent. While talking to EW, she said:
"I was always looking for the female characters in sci-fi and fantasy who were more than just the girlfriend. I love the female characters in She–Ra. There isn’t another show quite like it."
"She–Ra was ahead of its time. I’m so excited to bring these stories of female power and love and friendship back now when it seems like we need them more than ever."
I'm sure most of you are familiar with She-Ra, but if not, she is also known as Princess Adora and is the twin sister of Prince Adam a.k.a. He-Man. She was kidnapped as a baby by the Horde's leader Hordak. She is eventually given the Sword of Protection, which parallels He-Man's Sword of Power, gaining the power to transform into She-Ra.
I hope the series turns out good! I know for sure that my girls are going to want to watch it. Are you looking forward to seeing what becomes of this series?
