It’s been five years since Netflix released its critically acclaimed reboot of the 1980s series, Masters of the Universe. The 2018 show surprisingly revived a 30-year-old franchise without harming its original reputation, while also offering a fresh take on the story and the character of Adora, twin sister to He-Man. Unfortunately, Netflix has announced the series will be removed from its platform in February 2026, but the show’s creator, ND Stevenson, is hopeful it will find a new streaming home.
The animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power originally premiered on Netflix, so its upcoming departure from the platform is a bit surprising. Because DreamWorks Animation Television created the show, it had a limited time to be exclusively available on Netflix. That period ends next month, opening the possibility for the show to appear on another streaming service or even be released on DVD. This is what showrunner Noelle Stevenson is hoping for, and she recently shared this on X (formerly Twitter).
We’ve been aware of this situation for some time, and it’s already affected other Dreamworks shows when their agreements with Netflix ended. It’s disappointing to see years of effort from dedicated teams essentially go unused, and unfortunately, as showrunners, we have no say in these licensing decisions.
It’s uncertain if She-Ra will be widely available on DVD, which is sadly common for LGBTQ+ media – it often disappears after its initial release. But the show did happen, and that’s something to celebrate. Please enjoy it while it’s accessible, and if you can, preserve copies to help ensure its story isn’t forgotten. The future of its impact depends on fans like you.
‘She-Ra and the Princesses of Power’ Had Three Perfect Seasons
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power was a fresh take on the 1980s cartoon, originally created to capitalize on the popularity of the Masters of the Universe toy line by appealing to girls. The reboot intentionally made significant changes from the original series to establish its own identity and avoid being overly reliant on the He-Man franchise.
The series features a completely female cast and reimagines Adora’s story, severing her ties to He-Man. Instead of being his long-lost sister, Adora is now an orphan who unlocks her powers after finding a magical sword in the forest, establishing her as a unique heroine.
Critics loved the first, third, and fourth seasons of the show, giving them all perfect scores on Rotten Tomatoes. The series as a whole has a 96% average rating, and viewers give it an 84% approval rating.
