What happens

The New Adventures of He-Man is an animated series which ran in syndication starting in the second half of 1990. A pre-syndication early clearance of the series began in December, 1989 on select market independent stations, while Mattel released the toy line He-Man, an update of their Masters of the Universe line. The cartoon series was intended to be a continuation of Filmation's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series, but Filmation's parent Westinghouse Broadcasting had shut down the studio a year earlier. Instead, while existing in the same continuity, a new central story was created for this series. It is also the first He-Man series to feature a Canadian voice cast. This would mark the final entry in the original Masters of the Universe continuity, as the franchise as a whole would be rebooted twelve years later with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. The 2021 series Masters of the Universe: Revelation follows continuity of the original series but branches off into its own continuity from before the events of this series.
