As revealed via Entertainment Weekly, Netflix’s new She-Ra animated series offers a fresh take on the Princess of Power. Alongside Chuck Austen and DreamWorks Animation Television, cartoonist Noelle Stevenson will serve as co-executive producer on the She-Ra: Princess of Power reboot. 

“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,” said Stevenson. 

Princess Adora/She-Ra, the twin sister of Prince Adam/He-Man, starred in the original She-Ra: Princess of Power animated series in 1985. The reboot, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, will follow Adora’s transformation into the powerful She-Ra as she joins a Rebellion with new princesses against the evil forces of Hordak.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power will feature the voices of Aimee Carrero (Young & Hungry) as Adora/She-Ra, Jordan Fisher (Dancing with the Stars) as Seahawk, Marcus Scribner (Black-ish) as Bow, Lorraine Toussaint (Orange Is The New Black) as Shadow Weaver, Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy) as Castaspella, Karen Fukuhara (Suicide Squad) as Glimmer, A.J. Michalka (The Goldbergs) as Catra, Reshma Shetty (Royal Pains) as Angella, Keston John (The Good Place) as Hordak, Lauren Ash (Superstore) as Scorpia, Christine Woods (Hello Ladies) as Entrapta, Genesis Rodriguez (Time After Time) as Perfuma, Vella Lovell (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) as Mermista, Merit Leighton (Katie and Alexa) as Frosta, and Krystal Joy Brown (Motown: The Musical) as Netossa. 

“She-Ra was ahead of its time,” said Stevenson. “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.”

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is slated to debut on Netflix later this year.
