There are some tie-in books done for the 2021 Netflix He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and I thought I'd go over them on where they land in terms of the cartoon series.
The CGI animated series has an order of 26 episodes (announced 2020).
Currently they have aired
"Season 1" (10 episodes), "Season 2" (8 episodes) and "Season 3" (8 episodes).
No news yet if there has been a new order for more episodes past the 26.

Jumping between his royal youth and his adventures as the chief menace to the Masters of the Universe, I, Skeletor recounts the untold story of his clash with a terrifying foe, unveils the source of his rivalry with the Sorceress of Grayskull, reveals what really happened during the search for the legendary Sigil of Hssss, and finally explains how Skeletor manages to beat He-Man every single time.

Danger slithers around every corner as the Masters of the Universe are overwhelmed by a reptilian army wreaking havoc across the land. But young magician Teela is more worried about finding Eldress, the missing guardian of Castle Grayskull and the only person who can help her understand her powers.
Teela takes matters into her own hands—what's the worst that could happen? But when her spell goes horribly wrong, she meets a mysterious stranger made of stars who turns her world upside down. Suddenly, she's trapped in an alternate dimension where there are no Masters of the Universe: She can't use her magic, this Adam is more used to hiding than battling evil, and Eternia is ruled by . . . King Skeletor?! If Teela has any hope of finding her way home, she'll first have to save this world—but not without the help of her friends.
