As a lifelong fan of animated series, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming live-action adaptation of She-Ra! With Heidi Schreck, the brilliant mind behind shows like “Billions” and “Nurse Jackie”, penning the script, it’s safe to say that this will be a fresh take on the beloved Princess of Power.


Back in the ’80s, She-Ra, the Powerful Princess, initially made her mark, but she’s returned to our screens time and again. Most recently, Netflix revived He-Man’s sister in the widely popular series, “She-Ra And The Princesses of Power“. Across five seasons and more than fifty episodes, this animated show captured our hearts, leaving fans eager for more Adora. Although the animated series seems to be on a break, Amazon MGM is working on a fresh live-action television series that promises to reimagine the Princess of Power in a whole new light. Now, the studio has revealed who will pen the series script.

In 2021, Amazon revealed plans for a live-action series based on an epic fantasy story. This tale centers around a young woman who was raised as an orphan and leads a revolution to prevent her planet from destruction. Though specifics about casting and release dates are still unclear for the upcoming series, it has been confirmed that Heidi Schreck will contribute to the project by writing and producing it. If you’re not familiar with Schreck’s previous works, she has been involved in creating shows like “Billions” and “Nurse Jackie,” while also starring in and scripting the stage play “What The Constitution Means To Me“.

She-Ra Will Return

It’s not surprising that She-Ra is getting a live-action series given the success studios have achieved with recent live-action adaptations. Netflix’s One Piece and Avatar: The Last Airbender are still popular hits for their streaming service, while Amazon MGM is pushing ahead with the He-Man film from Masters of The Universe. Nicholas Galitzine and Allison Brie have been cast as Prince Adam and Evil-Lynn respectively in this upcoming live-action series, and Travis Knight, who directed Bumblebee and Kubo And The Two Strings, is at the helm for Amazon. It seems that Amazon is fully committed to Eternia.

In contrast to the 1987 live-action Masters of The Universe film where characters like Prince Adam, Skeletor, and various warriors battled for Castle Greyskull, but She-Ra was absent, the forthcoming She-Ra series marks Adora’s debut in live action. Unlike the popular Netflix series, this new production will primarily focus on the character of She-Ra as the Princess of Power, but it won’t be a continuation of the previous one.

She-Ra’s Revolution

In the recently released Netflix animated show, Masters of The Universe: Revolution, a brief scene after the credits suggests the appearance of She-Ra, but as a new version of the Power Princess. Towards the end, Despera was introduced, who serves Hordak, and longtime He-Man fans recognize that this masked fighter is actually a mind-controlled She-ra. As of now, there’s no news about another season for the Eternia animated series, but if it does come back, we expect that this storyline would be central to it.

It’s plausible for Amazon MGM to launch live-action versions of both Masters of the Universe and She-Ra, and if these characters cross paths, it could generate a significant level of interest among fans. The question is whether this crossover will manifest as a television series or a movie, but if Prince Adam and Adora meet again, that’s certainly a possibility.
