    Netflix He-Man & MOTU cancelled?

    The writer did backtrack some, but the chances for another season seem slim:

    Is this both shows? At this point I just assume most things I like will only get one season anyway, on Netflix or anywhere else. Trough TV is brutal.

    The kids CGI show. Revelation is still getting a minimum 5 more episodes as Revolution.

    I don't want either of these fabulous series cancelled!

    Yeah, we're likely seeing the twilight of the subline.

    No more cartoon.
    Like two more toys
    One more book
    One story in Masterverse comic
    And who knows if any more Masterverse figures

    At then we likely bid them goodbye. And the previews sounded so promising...

    I think it's a shame this series seems to be over: of the three modern MOTU shows (SatPOP, Rev and this) it's the one I've enjoyed the most. Still, it did have a decent run and finished in a just-about satisfactory way. Fingers crossed there's more to come, but it doesn't really sound like it.

    I enjoyed a great deal, had highs and lows like any other series, but always provided me with a great day of binge streaming...though Krass admittedly did ultimately get on my nerves. If the goal was to make her unpleasant en route to turning her bad, it worked a little too well.

    It's so damn frustrating knowing that the show was just getting started - only to be snuffed out before we got to some of the best stuff!

    Based on the Dark Horse book, there was SO MUCH left to tell! ARRGH!!

    Can you imagine fitting everything they teased in art book in 10 episodes though?

    The original order for CGI show back in 2020 report was 26 episodes. That technically was one season (Though Netflix later split it in three).

    But we knew all this time atleast that much episodes were coming, so when season 1 ended, or season 2, it wasn't a question of "oh I hope they renew it" because the episodes were done for most part..

    So if there is an actual new episode order, it could be another 26 episodes.

    Yes, 13 to 26 more would be the expected renewal amount for a show like this if it ever was renewed.

    Oh yeah, that would be way more manageable. I might even say generous but honestly, I would like to see this show not have to rush for once.

    Giving Horde screen time alone would be tricky, Skeletor had only three minions (and Tri-Klops), Hordak has five not counting Despara and Evil-Lyn.

    Does anyone remember at all the little gem of a movie, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home? The story laid out for a potential Season 4+ reminded me of that movie's framework.

    The main thing is that even if it's renewal is still up in the air, at least to the degree that major staff members aren't aware of it's status... that's still not good. The last batch of episodes aired last year. Netflix has just been sitting on this show the entire time, time that could have been spent actually, yknow, working on the show.

    If it is cancelled, that would be sad. It's pretty painful to think that, despite essentially speedrunning its plot (to the point where I feel it was detrimental to itself) in an attempt to outrun the now infamous two-season netflix cancellations, it STILL managed to get offed before it wrapped up everything.

    Yes, the best time to renew it would have been a month after the first or second seasons aired. I feel like too much time has passed now. If it were renewed, it probably wouldn't air until 2025 at the earliest, long after its toys have left the shelves. At least with Revolution, its designs fit in better with Masterverse.

    I am worried about both shows, tough I suspect it is just delays due to voice actors needing to be replaced...

    Hopefully there are some international deals in place for CGI He-Man to start airing on other platforms in 2023. Also, it would be great if Mill Creek Entertainment gave a release date for the DVD set. (U.S. and Canada)

    If Netflix doesn't want to continue the show, I would love for it to be picked up by another streaming service / channel... even, ugh, Cartoon Network...

    I would also like to know when the DVD set is coming.

    Ugh - Paw Patrol at number 1? That show is crap.

    At least Cuphead is top 5!

    Things that are popular with little kids probably get more views. You may notice on youtube those super long videos that are just several episodes of some show put together? That's so you can leave a little kid in front of the "electric nanny" and have peace. This is exactly why Cocomelon is the second biggest.
