“But there have been a couple of iterations, obviously since there was the Revelation version of Master of the Universe and the comics themselves. And we treat our script like it’s the Bible, you know.
He added: “But it’s really amazing to hear what this show has meant to a lot of people. It’s been really formative for a lot of people, so it’s exciting to do something that will have a nostalgic element and hopefully attract a bunch of new fans.
