Okay, we hear you: you thought Netflix had already announced this. But no! This is actually an entirely separate He-Man show. Be prepared for a lot of universe mastery.
Netflix has just announced a new deal with Mattel Television to officially reboot the beloved toy line turned sword-and-sorcery ‘80s action series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. A re-imagining of the series, the reboot will follow the adventures of the young prince Adam as he discovers the power of Castle Grayskull, forging a new team of heroes to battle the forces of Skeletor in a quest to become true masters of the universe.
The new show will be CG-animated and made by House of Cool and CGCG, who provided the animation for Dreamworks’ 3D animated series Trollhunters, also on Netflix. Descendants’ Adam Bonnett will executive produce the series alongside Justice League and Batman Beyond’s Christopher Keenan and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Rob David, who developed the reboot. They’ll be joined by The Batman designer Jeff Matsuda and Voltron: Legendary Defender’s Susan Corbin as producers
This new He-Man show is entirely different from Masters of the Universe: Revelation, the previously announced, 2D anime-inspired limited series being produced by Rob David, as well as actor/writer/director/general nerdy man Kevin Smith. That series is in fact a continuation of the original He-Man cartoon, so don’t expect any continuity crossovers between Revelation and the new He-Man 3D series.
It’s an interesting time for the He-Man saga – we’ve already got the excellent She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix doing its own thing (and presumably will continue to do so separate of either of these two projects), and there are of course the slow and still-ongoing plans to bring He-Man to the big screen, with Noah Centineo in the title role. Suffice to say, fans of Eternia: you’ll be spending quite a bit of time there in the foreseeable future.
We don’t quite know when the gates to Castle Grayskull will open once more, but we’ll bring you more on He-Man and the Masters of the Universe as well as Masters of the Universe: Revelation as and when we learn it.

Is the appetite really there for this much more He-man? Is this a thing people are really clamoring for?

Difficult to say. There is still a very strong fan base for collectibles, there's still new figures being produced at high dollar values with alarming frequency.
Whether that translates into a broad enough appeal to warrant the investment in new media projects? Well, somebody seems to think so.
It's probably one of my favourite franchises from my childhood (original go round) so I'll be open to new stuff, but I won't be persevering with poor quality products because of nostalgia the way I might with something like Star Wars.

It would be remiss if me to point out that the already announced one was conspicuously lacking any He-man both from the title and from the supposed plot.

I mean, I liked He-Man just fine when I was a kid but it never really carried over into adulthood for me the way that, say, Transformers and Voltron generally did.

I pretty much went from He Man to Transformers to GI Joe to TMNT to tabletop hobby gaming. I had others sprinkled in like Voltron, Thundercats, COPS!, Visionaries, Robotech, and Captain Power but they were fleeting (and typically only 1-3 small figs) whereas the others were multi XMas and BDay requests. I bought more Star Wars toys as an adult than when I was growing up in the 80s.

I remember enjoying He-man for the landscapes and some of the more fantastical elements. I enjoyed She-ra more, probably because they were more developed. The only MOTU product that carried with me as more than vague nostalgia was the live action film. And I liked it as much for the things it got wrong as the things it got right.

I was a subscriber to the official He Man magazine and got exclusive early previews of the Dolph Lungren feature film. Yes, I know you're all jealous but try to restrain yourselves.

I had that going on for The Simpsons. That’s why I know that Homer’s middle name is Jebediah, and not “Jay” as some later garbage season claimed.
Anyway, having meditated on He-man until I Butterfly Effected into younger me, I recall now that He-man was all about recycled animation, animation traced over live-action footage, and consistently-drawn dimples between [woman]’s esophagus and clavicles that always looked like a pair of apple seeds stuck to her throat.

For the love of your nostalgia, do not revisit Thundercats.

Original was a massive part of my childhood.
Early 00’s remake was pretty good.
This? I’m interested.

I generally like that list of past show credits they listed for the makers so I’ll probably be checking this out as well.

Two important things for it being a success:
1. Find an actor which looks the part for He-Man like Dolph Lundgren did in the past.
2. Don't be a lazy butt and let the story play out on Earth. Do it properly and do it on Eternia. That was the reason why the Lundgren movie failed so miserably.

Don't you dare insult Mekanek. Why? Well, he is Teela's favourite because no other MOTU can give head as good as him.
