Smith, who hails from Highlands, is the showrunner and executive producer of the series, which brings back He-Man, aka Adam, Prince of Eternia, defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.
Mattel, maker of legions of He-Man action figures, co-produces the show, which will premiere in two parts. The first five episodes of part one debut July 23.
Chris Wood, who played Mon-El in “Supergirl,” a series Smith directed, voices He-Man.
The series boats a cast filled with actors who are famous for major roles that shaped pop culture.
It’s funny because it sounds like a shift in genre but really, it comes down to the same things. It’s about adapting IP. It’s about bringing over an amazing piece of fan property and trying to do it right. And Death Note, I’m a huge fan of the manga, I’m a huge fan of the original source material and I think it’s one of the greatest mangas ever written.”
Agreed. Go on.
He continues: “
So for me, I didn’t play any role in Death Note, the first film that Netflix did, but I came in with a kind of a point of view with what I wanted to do in a sequel. And part of that is I wanted to go back to the source material. I wanted to go back to what made the original stuff so great, and so we’re doing something really neat with it. Hopefully, there will be more info on it soon, but it’s going to be… it’s not going to be exactly what you’re expecting. And I mean that in a very enticing way.“
