Netflix and DreamWorks released a flurry of new announcements in a press release today, revealing six new original cartoons that’ll be coming to our screens in 2018. Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, Harvey Street Kids, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, Trollhunters (Part 3) and 3 Below, and the most exciting of all:  She-Ra! Yes, the Princess of Power will returning and the show will be helmed by none other than Lumberjanes and Nimona creator Noelle Stevenson.For those who have yet to come across She-Ra in all her rainbow-hued glory, she’s the twin sister of Prince Adam of Eternia, a.k.a. He-Man. Introduced in the animated movie The Secret of the Sword as a foe for He-Man, she soon found out she was his secret sister ( Star Wars much?) and became a part of the greater He-Man world. Holding aloft her Sword of Protection, Princess Adora gained the power to transform into the heroic She-Ra! All caught up?Stevenson is the Eisner Award-winning creator behind some of the biggest comics phenomenons of the past decade. BOOM! Studios’ Lumberjanes is the tale of a group of young girls at a magical summer camp, and Nimona explores the path of a young shapeshifter who just happens to have a penchant for villainy. Both books gained a huge cult following and are currently being adapted for the big screen. Stevenson is an inspired choice for this project. Not only did Nimona put a subversive spin on the techno barbarian genre which is also home to He-Man and She-Ra, but her storytelling often focuses on the struggles of young women coming of age and learning how to deal with burgeoning powers.It’s thoroughly exhilarating to see a creator as talented and radical as Stevenson take on an iconic yet underserved property like She-Ra. The possibilities honestly feel endless. Since Stevenson’s work often deals with sexuality, friendship, and personal growth, this could be the She-Ra show fans truly deserve. Though Stevenson made her name in comics, she’s in no way a new hand in the world of TV and has worked on a number of great shows like Bravest Warriors, Tangled: The Series, Lego Star Wars: Freemakers, and the fantastically popular Ducktales reboot. The new She-Ra show has been in the works for a while too as Stevenson shared via her Twitter today after the show was announced!

We can’t wait to see this brand new vision of Etheria, She-Ra, and her beloved steed Swift Wind hit our screens in 2018. Are you excited for a new take on the retro-futuristic landscape of this classic Mattel show? Just happy to see Stevenson take full creative control on a flagship cartoon?
